I recently had my timing belt replaced, as part of a water pump replacement, and after 1000 miles I'd like to take the car in to have the belt retention.

I'd like to check out a new shop in my area for the job and my question is how long should it take to retention the timing belt?

The new shop is House Automotive in Pasadena, CA has anyone had any experience with them?

Thanks in advance...

Don't do it. They have a really bad reputation.

PM en route.

The car/engine has to be 68 degrees-cold
So plan on leaving it at the shop for the morning/afternoon.

Actual time to retension belt is about 1 hour or less. The shop may use the Porsche Time (standard hours) method and bill you $175 or more.

If the shop installed the belts, they may give you a break or have it priced in the original fee.
