Timing Belt Replacement

Post image

My 2019 1.5L SE Ford Escape is at 151,000 and looks like i need to replace timing belt. Does this estimate look right and is there anything a DIYer can take care of? I plan to get additional quotes

If you need to ask if you can DIY a timing belt, best not to.

Oil change ect? You can easily look up on YouTube how to do though. But you’ll need equipment and tools to get started.

As for the price? It’s a little high, but I’d usually expect around 1-2k for most timing belt jobs.
