Does anyone know how oftern you should change your drive belts? Dealership mentioned that I should get my changed soon. I have an 04 coupe with roughly 65k.

Also, do you know where I can get the drive belts? is riverside my best bet?

 

you're gonna order a drive belt from the us? aren't drive belts like around 30$? just order it locally. any auto parts shop should be able to order these in for u... why bother with all the shipping/taxes/currency exchange/brokerage headaches?

 

Driving belts can easily be picked up at any jobber shop like part source or Canadian tire. Even if your talking about the Timing chain it shouldn't be a problem.

I hate changing belts!

 

Give Vic Simone a call... www.simoneperformance.com

 

Never had to change drive belts before, I just figured that everything is cheaper in the US

 

I changed mine at 100K, got it done at Simone's

 

Me too.

 

lol... c'mon, keep the canadian economy going !

 

I do my best to try and contribute to the Canadian economy, but its hard when you can get the same item in the US for 50% less after shipping and all those other nice fees customs like to add to your packages. LOL

 

how much they charge at simone?? parts and labour??

 

A belt is half price after currency, shipping etc.? Really?

 

i have been replacing quite a bit of those belt, even the tensioner.

the belt from nissan around 55-60
collins 30
part source 35

for a part less than a hundred dollars, why will ppl want to buy over the border?

 

Not sure about belts, but other goodies, like snowboarding stuff, car stuff.. etc...

 

^okay but since we were talking about car parts and belts in particular that's what I thought you were referring to. On small items I would buy local regardless unless it's being combined with a bigger order.

 

Drive belts are about $15 USD. I had to have my AC one replaced at 38k miles because it literally disappeared. Install is not difficult either if you choose to do it yourself.
