Is there anyone in CA that can recommend an independent shop in the Sacramento region? I am at 124,*** miles and I am worried that I am getting to the end of my chancing the inevitable.

British Car Service is great, as well as Stewart’s. I’ve used Stewart’s and they’re fantastic.

I'm getting to the same point. Any comments on what I should expect to pay for the timing chain guide replacement and new coolant crossover pipes. Independent shop not a dealer. Thanks

Around 20 hours plus parts. Parts will be around 1,000 to 1,200.

I was quoted $4,400. Mine is a 2012.
That was the year they caught the guides wearing out and incorporated the new parts. Are you actually hearing timing chain slap or anything? Or are you just doing preventative?

$4400 is about right. ~$1500 in parts and the rest is about 20 hours of labor.
