Hi My car is being worked on. It's already getting its oil leak fixed, tuned up, spark plugs, fluid check, %26amp; oil change. They tell me the hoses %26amp; belts have never been replaced (car is 10 years old, I bought it used), and should be done asap. They also want to charge me over $700 for hoses %26amp; belts; not sure if they included a water pump, I was in sticker shock, so to speak. Is this an unreasonable price? Repairs are almost at the price of the car, and it was in good shape. This is just maintenance.How much does it cost to replace belts %26amp; hoses in a car?
700.00 is about right. The timing belt is way overdue and it's
a great Idea to do the waterpump at the same time. Sounds

Scoop is right on, you should get buy for around $50.0-$75.00 for belts and new antifreeze if needed.
The Serpentine belt is around $15.00-$20.00 depending on which one. Try the quick lubes. Good LuckHow much does it cost to replace belts %26amp; hoses in a car?

Unless they are changing the timing belt it should NOT cost 700 just for belts and hoses. Find another mechanic! Sounds like this is one of those shotty joints that gives us all a bad name!How much does it cost to replace belts %26amp; hoses in a car?

Get them to give you the list of things they are doing and the things they want to do. Make sure they put the prices on each item for you. If the belts and hoses need replaced and after 10 years most of them will, just one special one may cost $80.00 and so on. That is why the list is important. Also just for your information, ask that all parts and pieces replaced be kept for you that you want the old ones. No kidding, they sometimes charge you and do not replace. I f you have all the old worn out hoses, belts and spark plugs etc then you know they put new stuff in. If they ask why, just tell them an old grandma told you to ask for the old ones.
