Timing Belt Water Pump Where to go
Alright Guys
Basically I have given up there is just no way i can do my water pump and timing belt by myself in my garage and im just to afraid of screwing up timing and smashing some of my values.
I AM EXTREMELY NERVOUS ABOUT TAKING THIS CAR TO ANY SHOP
So if any you guys have had good mechanic in the Kansas city area Shawnee olatha w.e plz give me a referral right now im looking at
quoted 870-1000http://www.bretsautoworks.com/ guy said worked on the platform before warned me that it is 15 yrs old and sometime things go wrng while ur in there or things break im not really sure i know what the job entail not sure how u could break anything besides messing up timing and ruining ur engine
my other option said could be around 1300(with full coolant flush)
Bailey's Auto Service, Inc. - Home he seemed asked me if i wanted it flushed to said it was additional 100

Ya definately do not take it to that shop if they're telling you sometimes things go wrong. That's their way of saying they're not proficient with these cars. Also the tensioner is 2 bolts, no reason why they should charge an additional $500 to replace it. Would definately suggest trying to find a local member who would be willing to help you out with it.
Also how many miles on the car? Have you done the 60k/120k service? What's the reason for replacing the belt and pump, if you haven't done any of those services and its at the required mileage you should do the entire service. If you're not sure if it's been done or when it was done you should also do it. This means replacing:
60k
-Timing Belt
-Water Pump
-Idler Pulley
-Tensioner Pulley
-Hydraulic Tensioner *Only use OEM
120k Adds the following to that list
-Oil Pump *Only use OEM
-Valve Stem seals should be replaced but if they're not leaking not a huge concern, but they may start soon
-Cam Seals and oil pump related seals
