Sure, why not. Try to find someone that knows how to do it so that, you wont get charged an arm and a leg. I would not pay more than a few hundred dollars for a timing belt. If you go to the dealer they will kill you with their prices, so I suggest you get a couple of opinions at regular shops and try buying the belt yourself and just paying for the labor, you ll save some big money that way too because they like to charge you triple the amount for the part.

I would say yes, the timing belt you can get pretty reasonable.$30-$50. Labor is what will cost you though, maybe you have a friend or family member that can fix it for you?
