Replace belt at 60K? Man, I thought the standard was 100k.

It cost the guy $1500 damage at 70k, but it cost $1,000 to replace mine at 100k (in a Chrysler 300m).

I don’t do GM any more for a bunch of reasons. I owned a ‘72 Vega and bought a 1980 Skylark brand new. Turns out they were in Customer Beta Testing that year. What a piece of crap. I learned.

Chrysler 300? Isn’t that Walter White’s car?

One of my Japanese has timing belt R&R at 48k intervals. Usually the $3 cam seal goes out a little before that, though, so we beat the 48k.

I have never replaced a timing belt

I vaguely remember something about my Honda recommending it to be replaced at 100K = I have 300K on it and it still runs like new

I always buy Honda’s now...
