Re: Timing belt in Toronto
I was NOT pleased with Independent Tuning.
I left my car there for a Heater Core Flush and Mark called me and told me my water pump was leaking badly.
Wasnt leaking at all prior to me taking it there
He said he would do the water pump for me for 95 plus 385 labour plus I should do the timing belt well he is at it for another $$$$
All I wanted was a heater core flush!
My car was fine before I went there and NOT fine after I left.
I am very disappointed in this place
I do not recommend them for the reasons above

Any good shops would have said the same thing. If you do your water pump, you might as well do your timing belt, since you have to remove the belt just to get to the water pump. It's not the shop, its the car itself that's expensive.

I didn't meet Paul until after I got the timing belt done. But he saved me a tonne of cash on my steering rack replacement. I recommend you give him a call, he's a nice guy and very knowledgeable.

Re: Timing belt in Toronto
I was referring to the fact that i do not believe my waterpump was leaking prior to going there
I always find when i stay with my car and watch the mechanic my bill is much lower and no surprises
If I leave my car and go to work, I get a phone call about something they "found"
that needs to be replaced

Hey, RMP did a great job. They used Champion parts i believe. Water pump was all metal no plastic pieces. He did the tensioners, water pump, timing belt and serpentine belt for 750 all in. Great deal, same day service...nothing but good things to say. Even showed me the water pump and what mess it was (leaking everywhere). GLTA
