On top of that, your technician may also inspect other areas of the vehicle to determine what caused the cracking.

I understand I do not have to consent in order to purchase any products or services. Now that it is all put back together, it can be tested with the start of the engine. Is the engine running like it should? Is the timing of the engine good? If the answer to both of these is yes, then you are in good shape. Pay the mechanic and then you are done.
The car has K miles on it. All in all, this has been a very dependable vehicle. That quote sounds high to me. What parts are they planning to replace? My guess is the timing belt snapped when you tried to start the engine. Do you know when the timing belt was last replaced? Most manuals ask you to replace it after 60, miles. I have a Acura MDX in amazing condition sure to good regular maintenance. It has roughly k miles on it. Does that seem like a fair price? That sounds like an expensive timing belt change.
Did they say which components they were planning to replace with that estimate? I have a Hyundai Tiburon with a 2. OL engine, 4-cylinder. I took it to my local repair shop for an estimate cost to replace the timing belt and water pump as I have K miles on it.
Is this a fair price now days, and is this really a seven hour job? What is really a fair price for this sort of job on a Hyundai Tiburon in excellent condition? Sounds fair to me depending on what all is being replaced. It depends on what the shops 2 years ago were going to replace. Then you have the labor costs. Labor really adds up. You might ask around and see what their book times are for this job. Some shops might use a different bit of estimation software.
You could also save a few dollars by buying your own parts, but then you go without a warranty. Not all vehicles have a timing belt. Timing belts are popular in automobiles with small-displacement engines. Manufacturers will opt for a timing chain instead of a timing belt on engines with a large bore or stroke. The timing chain system replaces a runner belt with a metal chain. In general, a timing chain has a much longer lifespan than a timing belt; some are even known to last the entire lifespan of a vehicle.
Depending on your vehicle, the manufacturer has a predetermined recommendation on when your timing belt needs replacing. If your vehicle has a bad or faulty timing belt, it will often give off some signs. A worn-out timing belt will affect your engine fire rate since it is attached to the pulleys that drive the crankshaft. Sometimes, the belt will slip on the camshaft drive causing the engine cylinder to open and close earlier than it should.
