    I’ll get them to show me a detailed estimate for labor. Seems like the kit is roughly $250 online which means they’re charging $625 for labor. I’ll see how many hours they’re charging for.

    No, that’s a fair price as long as they are asin parts.
    Don’t get the cheapest kits,
    Personally I get all this parts from the dealership because I don’t want to cheap out on quality
    New antifreeze?

    So remind me what is the suggested change interval for that belt. A near $1,000.00 repair every x amount of how many miles?
