I've been quoted a min. of $2500 for a timing change repair. Is this typical?

I dont know what a SOHC engine is? But is this a typical price quote for that work?

Sorry, that is the short term for Single Overhead Camshaft as opposed to a Pushrod engine... That is what makes this job so labor intensive as it has a lot more parts to contend with... I looked at the Estimator at the top of this page and it's no help really so I suggest calling a few local shops to get their price... I'm in VA so it's not going to be the same price and I cannot inspect the vehicle... You'll need to be able to tell the shop what engine it has so it's a good idea to have the vehicle ID number handy.. 10th digit is the engine code.

thank you

Sure... Good luck with it!
