Honda DEALER TECH'S please.
 

Interested in hearing from tech's currently employed @ Honda dealer.
Due to lack of qualified independent mechanics in their area, this
repair will need to be done by a dealer.

Family member has 2000 Accord 4 cyl. and it's approching time to have
the timing belt replaced. So the questions are:

1. Specifically, what parts do you replace, and what other services
are performed?
2. What is general cost?
3. How long would dealer need to complete the work?
4. Are very small Honda dealers just as good as larger ones? i.e.
one dealer (closest) also
sells Pontiac, vs: dealer selling only Honda.
5. Would you be confident getting this repair done at ANY Honda
dealer? i.e. does Honda
tech certification take out the duh factor?
6. Immediately after repair, owner will be taking a very long road
trip, so can't take chances
with repair, etc.
7. Is there anything else you would recommend doing, not covered in
#1?

T.I.A.
