My 96 GS300 cambelt is due for replacement, I was just wondering what is the lowest labour cost anyone has paid to get this job done by either a frnachised or non franchised garage.

Got mine done early this year,cam belt change and full service £400 not from lexus main agent but no problems.

I did my last one myself. Its not hard apart from cracking off the pulley nut.
I haven't got around to this one yet. Its sitting in the boot waiting along with a fan belt

Like above the bottom pulley is the tricky part of the job.
I got the belt myself and got a garage to change it,cost me £130.

That sounds about right. I got mine done yesterday by my local garage they charged me £100 labour and I got the belt from Lexus for £23 (surprisingly inexpensive for a Lexus part) apparently its 3 hours labour.

Had mine done last month, around £50 for the belt and tensioner kit, and £80 for a local garage to fit.
