typical dealer rate $70/hr? 4 cyl = 3.1 hrs plus parts V6 =3.3 hrs plus parts roughly $217-231 the parts are typically anywhere from $30 to $60 for the belt Next question did the belt break? could not find a price for parts hope this helps ---

Did the belt break? I’m not sure if that’s an interference engine or not. ---

cost of parts plus 50 shop labor fee= 285, according to consumer info. recall on the 95-98 body style gas tanks. may want that looked at. motors are interference. iirc uses a 2.0 16v motor. same motor a n/a dsm. or that may have ended in 94 and the 95-98 is their own motor…
