How much does it cost to replace a belt in a Chevy Malibu?

Answer 1

That is a broad question. Which belt do you want to replace? The seat belt, or an engine belt? As an engine belt which engine belt? The Fan belt? The water pump belt? The Alternator belt? The powersteering belt? The air conditioning belt? The timing belt? Is it s V belt or a serpentine belt? For what year Malibu? For what engine size?

You need to get specific to get a good answer. Once you have Year Make, model, and engine size; you need to decide which belt you want to replace.

Once you have all of the above information you can call your local parts store and get a price on the belt. Next you need to figure out how much time it is going to take to replace that belt.

If you go to a dealer or automotive repair shop:

Cost = Time to replace x(Shop Hourly Rate) + Cost of part( Belt to be replaced) + tax (can't forget the government)

IF you replace it yourself:

Cost = Cost of Part (belt to be replaced)+ tax+blood sweat and tears
