Hello, please about how much will it cost to change the timing belt and spark plugs on a v6 toyota solara, year 2004-2008? I live in the DMV area. Also are there any other problems with this engine to watch out for part from the timing belt, cause it's an interference engine?
I wanted to buy one but I'd need to change the timing belt asap.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Praise is very so much and locations call around your area and see it's not a cheap job generally to pay over $500
Thanks.
Yaaaaay am excited scotty himself answered my question.
Sir I'm a huge fan.
You should price around. It all depends on what parts they use and how fair the shop is. Find a good shop not necessary the cheapest one since you don't want to do a crappy job on that. I should mention that your engine is a non-interference one. Chance the valve cover gasket (if it leaks too). Get the whole kit (including eater pump,...).
thank you sir, oh the 3.3 v6 isn't an interference engine? good to know.
SORRY THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A REPLY 🥴
@Grey @yaser the 3.3L V6 (engine name 3MZ-FE) in the 2nd Gen Solara (model years 2004-2008) is an interference engine. See links below:

@DayWalker you're right. My bad. Yes, it is an interference engine.
Yeah that's true. It's the older solara's with the 3.0 v6 that aren't interference engines.
