2006 Rio LX 1.6 Timing Belt

[squierjosh]

My 2006 Rio has 62,000 miles on it and is running great. Someone asked if I had replaced the timing belt yet, and I thought that sounded dumb, but after a little googling, it seems pretty common. What can I expect to pay for this service at a Kia dealer vs. a Precision Tune or something like that?

The timing belt is usually due for a change at 60000 mile. I can't give exact prices but it would probably involve around 2-2.5 hours labour in the price plus parts. Phone a dealer service department and ask time involved and parts required and they should be able to give you a fairly accurate idea on the phone and something to compare prices against.
