Good Independent Mechanic in Naperville / Lisle (IL) Area?

[ltoolio]

Hey all,
I'm coming up on 100K miles in my 02 Camry and need to change my timing belt, water pump, plugs and whatever else needs to be done at that interval.

I'd usually do it myself, but a new job has been keeping me pretty well tied to the the office.

Any guidance around good mechanics in the Naperville / Lisle area, and any thoughts around what the 100K service interval should cost?

TIA,
LT

Bring it by the shop I work at. Firestone at Yorktown Mall. Look around and you can probably find a 5-10% off coupon online. Bring it in and we will take care of you!

How long would such a procedure take?

I'm sure it'll take a bit longer than 2 hours for timing belt, water pump, plugs, etc.....

I assume you have the 1mz-fe V6?

It's the V6, not sure about the specific engine model though.

Like he said above - best bet is to fond a good honest mechanic and stick to him/her.

I go to Kallemeyn Auto in Palos Heights and they're great honest guys. Maybe I'm biased because I've always been great friends with them but nonetheless. Great service. Constantly in Chicago magazine for auto polls as well.
