Timing belt Mitsuboshi or OEM Honda

I recently did the timing belt, water pump, tensioner etc. on a 2007 Honda Odyssey and a 2016 Acura MDX. It's pretty much the same job, but I can tell you that the MDX was a lot easier.

I completed the timing belt this weekend. It took me about 6 hours, with a total cost of about $300 in parts. The original timing belt on my 4 year old van still looked new

Shop I work for is a Honda/Acura specialty shop. We charge about $1250.

That’s actually not a bad price. Paid $1400 at 110k miles for timing belt, coolant change, and water pump at independent shop on the families odyssey. $1850 from dealer don’t sound bad.

Paying $1750 for my timing belt package next month. 13 V6 Accord at 110k miles. Was this done when you hit 100k miles?

My 03 Honda Pilot was $2300 in 2023 and had 230k miles. It’s almost to 300k and hasn’t really needed anything done except general upkeep maintenance. It’ll need a timing belt soon though.

Overpriced and it may need a new timing belt.

Super cheap minus the expensive timing belt job at 105k miles.

I had 280k on my 01 accord when the og snapped, thought it had been swapped by previous owner as it looked to be in good shape when I did the water pump and I ate that about as fast as I stopped when it killed my engine.

I had a customer who brought in a car with seemingly “authentic Honda” parts that failed prematurely. Lo and behold it was a counterfeit timing belt kit and the belt snapped sending everything else to shit.
