About how many hours of labor would it take to replace a timing belt (on a 93 dodge intrepid)?

I've been told that I need a new timing belt, and that it will cost about a thousand dollars to fix it. That figure seems a bit high to me, but I don't know how many hours of labor are involved and would just like a ballpark figure as to what the reality is from an impartial source.

Those engine are what's called %26quot;interference%26quot; engines.

When the belt breaks, the piston hits the valves and does internal engine damage.

You may consider buying another car all together.

Oh, and not another DODGE.

Buy a Chevy. They last a lot longer and use timing chains, not belts.About how many hours of labor would it take to replace a timing belt (on a 93 dodge intrepid)?1000 bucks where what shop your at best you call three local shops

Edit - it appears the 3.3L V6 does not use a timing belt, but the 3.5L does. That engine is not listed as interference so a failed timing belt should not cause damage. Be warned Gates is not always correct about that.
