How much should it cost to fix engine after timing belt broke on Mistubishi Galant 2003?

I don't know to much about engines, my 2003 Mitsubishi Galant stopped running on the highway yesterday. Today a mechanic told me that the timing belt had broken and that some damage to valves and a cylinder occurred because of the belt broke. He estimated that it will cost $1,903 to fix it. Is this a reasonable cost, and does it make sense to repair or is it wiser to replace engine?How much should it cost to fix engine after timing belt broke on Mistubishi Galant 2003?Do the following: Phone the agents and ask them what they will charge to repair the broken belt, also ask if, on your particular model, a broken belt will also damage the valves. (some vehicles do and some dont) If the valves cannot be damaged by the belt broken on your model, then you are probably paying too much. Anyhow to be safe always ask for a detailed written quote before you have any work done - it will protect you from being charged more later.How much should it cost to fix engine after timing belt broke on Mistubishi Galant 2003?Yes, this cost is more than reasonable.How much should it cost to fix engine after timing belt broke on Mistubishi Galant 2003?If you have him get into the engine to find out how much damage has been done and find out that the pistons have been damaged as well, not only are you going to have to pay for the labor for engine tear down, but engine replacement costs as well.



Get another engine with a warranty.
