The timing belt snapped this morning on my 1999 rav4. It’s a non-interference engine so the valves are good. Looking for a shop/mechanic around the city of Buffalo who can do the timing belt/water pump for a reasonable price. It not a super hard job but I don’t have the tools or a garage to do it myself. I called 2 places and was quoted $700. Looking for someone reasonable and trustworthy. Thanks ---

Usually as places come in cheaper they become less and less trustworthy. You get what you pay for. Swiderski and Blackforest are both great options. ---
