Timing Belt / Water Pump - Labor Time

[Ralliart]

For a B16A3, what would you figure a reputable shop would charge for the labor time required to do the timing belt and water pump change?

If I believe correctly, to get at the water pump requires removal of the timing belt, so would most shops adjust the labor time to reflect this, as opposed to charging full labor time for each individual item that they are working on?

Thanks

They'll likely just charge for the waterpump job in terms of labor.

That said, I'd expect to pay at least 6-8 hours labor for a job like this. That's why my cars have never seen the inside of a shop.
