What should I expect to pay to change the timing chain on my 98 Toyota corolla?

its a timing belt and the above answers are good to go off of, belt will be only $40-$60 but its alot of labor





The above answer is wrong. Corolla uses a timing chain for 98 on up. The real question is why do you need to change the timing chain?|||$500.|||probably 300-400...|||its a timing belt and the above answers are good to go off of, belt will be only $40-$60 but its alot of labor|||Not knowing the engine size I can only tell you that an L4 1.8 double over head cam is about $400. The labor time is 3.9 hours times the cost per hour,ad .2 tenths of an hour for A/C , and .4 tenths to remove the crank gear. the kit at the dealers is 169.25 for chain and tensions,and guides. Call an auto parts store to get there price for a timing kit. The repair shop will mark this price up for obvious reasons. This is an estimate and is intended as a guide, prices may differ. I hope this helps.In the future give us as much info as possible for a more accurate answer.|||The rate should be 250.00 to 350.00.
