how much does a tune up normally cost?

[diputz42]

just got a 92 gsx. 165k mi on it. i want to start working on it, but im thinking i want to do a full tune up before i start bolting shit on. the woman i bought it from has every receipt of all maintenance, but the last time i see the timing belt replaced was well over 60k ago. since this is my first car and all, i dont know how much it would cost to get everything tuned up. just want and idea of the cost. THANKS.

I recommend you doing the fluids, and plugs yourself. Save yourself alot of money there. The belts are going to be a good amount by themselves. If you know a local DSMer that can do belts you might come out alot better. Ive never had my belts done at a shop. So I cant really give you a quote,but from my understanding it isnt cheap. Just something to think about.

if u can understand the timing belt do it urself, either way go easy on the car and have it replaced asap! over 60k since last tbelt borrow a timing light unless u got one if possible and make sure u ground out the connector. do oil, airfilter, plugs, coolant if u feel like it, window washer , maybe tranny fluid, all that crap u should be able to pull off by urself unless ur new to getting greasy. after that go beat that car around

if you dont know what you are doing do not attempt to change your own timing belt. The cost at a shop is in the realm of 550. This includes Timing belt, balance shaft belt, and water pump including installation on all of the above. Usually if you want them to go ahead and change the rest of the belts its an extra 50 bucks. I'ts pricey, however better than you spending the money and not being able to do the maintenance correctly then having to bring it to a shop anyhow.. if you can or know someone who can..more power to you.
