Maintenance Question
'99 Hyundai Accent GSI 65,000 kilometres
Could someone tell me what major maintenance should be done on the car
by this point?
The Hyundai dealership says the timing belt should be replaced at 60k
for about $225. Canadian Tire says it doesn't need to be replaced til
100k and it would cost $500.
I'm confused.
(All prices in Canadian dollars)

Ok so here's the deal. The Hyundai dealership says the timing belt
should be replaced at 96k k or 4 years. Canadian Tire says it doesn't
need to be replaced til 100k.
The Hyundai told me I could get two more years out of it or it could
break tomorrow, but I don't want to spend money needlessly.
What would you recommend I do?

I'm letting my XG350 go until 90,000 miles (144,000 km) because its a 2002
and I should get to 90k miles beginning 2007 (5 years). Yours has been
running for 7 years now (1999-2005), I'd get it changed. Belt life has to
be a function of miles and time (and luck). Also I've been told my XG350
does not have a reputation for eatting timing belts.

Now I've got an actual Hyundai dealership quoting me $225cdn and
Canadian Tire quoting me $500.
That seems a little backwards, doesn't it?

Re: Maintenance Question
Personally, I think $225cdn for a timing belt change is quite
resonable. I would strongly consider going with the Hyundai
dealership. The cost of a timing belt replacement is miniscule
compared to a holed piston or bent valves.

Re: Maintenance Question
The quote from the Hyundai dealer at $225 is probably correct. I got
my dealer to quote on a timing belt for a 2000 Accent a few years back
because I was concerned that it could be a big bill. I was quoted $213
Canadian incl. taxes at that time.

It's 60,000 miles or 100,000 Km - roughly the same thing.
What brand is on the belt? Off hand I would go with the dealer as he
practices more and charges less.
