What is your question?
Dealer wants 1750,00 to replace timing belt with 62000 miles. Car is not experiencing any problems.. No mention of water pump, plugs, etc. or other potential add-on costs. Price seems over the top but I don't know what to expect. Should I shop around for better quote or just wait until I get closer to 100000 miles before I worry about this?

Hello, your timing belt has a 105,000 mile life expectancy -- or 7 years, whichever comes first. Being that the belt is made of rubber, it's reasonable to recommend replacement at 7 years -- which seems close for you time wise. $1,750 is not that far out of line in my real world experience; definitely check the "estimator" tool here for more ranges of pricing -- https://repairpal.com/estimator Your repair should include: replace timing belt, water pump, drive belt, timing belt tensioner and coolant. The valve adjustment is not a bad idea (additional costs apply) as well as spark plug replacement. Both of these are also "due" for typically along side the timing belt replacement - at the higher mileage. Sure, shop around if you'd like, but be advised that you should use genuine Honda parts as well as skilled and experienced technicians who can perform this work. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me
