So in a nutshell, yes you should maintain your vehicle, no you should not pay the crazy high prices which this shop has quoted you. There are shops which specialize in alignment, brake, and suspension work, who can do this for a reasonable price if DIY is not an option. I would also have the brakes done, and this should not cost more than $800 for a standard brake job on all four wheels. 2005 Saturn VUE AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) 40 of 42 people found this review helpful I bought this car for my wife because, (1) it has a plactic outer shell and never get's dimpled (2) supposedly. I would also either DIY or have a transmission fluid and filter change done, and this should cost no more than $250 for a drain-and-fill.

My advice is to either buy the tools and DIY, or find a reputable mechanic who will do the full timing belt job–including the water pump, tensioner, idler pulleys, and replace the camshaft oil seals (if they are actually leaking significantly), and this should cost around $1200. $900 for this 100,000 mile recommended service? Again, way too much money for what you get. The full timing belt kit generally includes the camshaft oil seals, and often includes the front crankshaft seal. $800 to fix what a assume are minor camshaft oil leaks? I’d ask the mechanic what he’s smoking, and can I have some? This should be included with the timing belt job. You should be able to get this done for a lot less somewhere else. If this has never been done, you’re on borrowed time, before the belt fails and the engine is ruined.
