What is the cost to replace car belts?

Answer by  kennethjgoodson (4903)

If you are going to replace your own car belts it will be a lot cheaper than taking it somewhere. You will spend about 40 dollars on the belts and if you take it to a shop they will charge you about 150 dollars to do it.

To replace car belts is not very expensive unless you have a foreign made car. All belts can be purchased at an auto supply store and put them on yourself. You may have to buy a special wrench to replace some of the belts.

If you get a replacement belt installed in yout car there are two scenarios. If all the service man does is change a serpentine belt then it should run about $25. However, during these processes the tensioner can often need replacing or else your belt will just fall off without it, that can run upwards to $125

Cost vary depending on how many belts your car has. Some cars have separate belts for each component, ex. alternator, a/c compressor, and power steering pump. Some cars use whats called a serpentine belt. This is one belt that drives all the belt driven components on the engine. Belt prices also vary depending on length.

how many belts are you talking about? 1 serpentine can be 50.00, if you have the older style V belts about 10.00 per belt

Depends on the car and the belt; some cars have as many as three. It can cost anywhere between $40 and $200.

Well if you can do it yourself it is pretty cheap. Each belt should cost less than $20 a piece. Whoever if you pay to have them changed you will be paying for the belts as well as the labor. Which can cost upward of $100 per hour. Prices can also vary depending on where you live.
