how much should it cost to get a timing belt changed

[OOBradm]

Anyone have a rough idea?

$250 or 300 is my guess

You're car does not have a timing belt. Also please ask Auto questions in the Garage section.

Facepalm

It cost zero dollars for the timing belt. Probably $700 for the timing chain

But you shouldn't have to get a timing chain replaced, right?

The chain itself usually holds up in most cars but most 4cyls/OHC cars with chains have the guides/tensioner/etc... wear out and/or just break. The Nissan Sentra use to be bad for that. The chains would have so much slack it would slap the timing cover and wear a hole in it.

Under normal use, chains are rarely replaced.

Not unless it breaks. They don't have a "required replacement" interval.

I have a 2000 grand am. I heard its wise to get the chain replaced at around 90k because they are prone to wearing out
