    Now I'm wondering if I buy the brake pads myself, if the auto shops would install them for me without a hassle, and what I could expect them to charge me for the service alone.

    0.7 of an hour maximum. I quote the same time whether customers buy their own bits or let us supply them

    So you don't care whether your customers buy their own parts or get them from your business?

    on general wear & tear and service parts? No. There isn't that much of a markup on those things, so I'm not losing business for the sake of a tenner

    I should say though, if you supply your own stuff where there can be a decent markup, then you will find an extra bit of time added on in your quote

    How much does a timing belt/water pump replacement cost?

    sorry to be the title of bad bearings, but that's a biiiiiiiitch of a job

    water pump you usually wind up having to take all the other peripherals off (AC, alt, etc)

    and the timing belt is probably on the other side of the engine from the water pump, so you've basically got to have a lot of that sumbich apart

    =fucking expensive

    anything from 1 hour to 8+ hours in labour. If it was coming in to me, the tensioner, guide pulley and water pump (if driven by the timing belt) would also be getting changed otherwise I wouldn't do the job.
