A rubber timing belt may be replaced due to age or due to condition. If a belt breaks while driving, it will result in instant stopping of the motor, frequently with damage to the valves/pistons. Replacing an old or worn belt in a timely manner is MUCH cheaper than the results of NOT replacing one. Check the price of a belt, and the price of a wrecker and engine rebuild.

How much will it cost to replace timing belt on 2001 Acura CL?
Your most likely looking at around $500 (more at the dealer). Most mechanics will also replace your water pump when they do a timing belt job. This is a good idea because the pump is in the same area they are working in, and if your belt needs to be replaced you water pump is likely to be due for replacement too. So you should be able to get your timing belt and water pump replaced for around this price. Most of this cost is labor.
How much does it cost to repair a timing belt on a car?
You don't "repair" a timing belt, you replace it. The cost of the belt varies depending on the model of car. The total repair bill is likely to be significantly more than the cost of the belt due to labor. Exactly how much depends not only on the model of car, but where you take it; the best way to get an estimate is to, well, get an estimate: call several local garages, tell them your year, make, and model of car, and ask how much they would charge to replace a timing belt.
Why does car squeak?
usually it is due to the timing belt being loose and/or other things wrong with the timing belt. It could also be the transmission fluid if the car shifts oddly and if there is a leaking issue inside or outside of the vehicle. If this is the case, replace the fluid and filter IMMEDIATELY!!! Eric

It is always recommended when you replace timing belt to replaces any and all timing belt components, but if they do not show ware and tension correctly then you are good to go, it is always easier to do preventive maintenance then repair or replace due to component damage, usually you can purchase a complete cam timing belt set. Peace of mind is cheap. Not to mention doing the job right the first time or doing it a second time, labor and time.
