Why does everyone make such a big deal about timing belts and changing them at around 70,000 miles?
To replace your car’s engine, it will cost over $5000. To replace your car’s timing belt, depending on the make and model, should cost about $500 to $700. The timing belt, very simply put, makes the engine run. When the timing belt fails, the engine seizes and typically, that is the end of that engine.
