Sorry to hear about your timing belt! The average cost to replace the timing belt in a Nissan Frontier is between $400 and $800.
This price includes both parts and labor, with about ⅔ of the price going towards labor. Replacing the timing belt is a pretty time-intensive process! The mechanic must charge for several hours of labor along with the actual replacement part.
Bear in mind that if you live in a HCOL (high cost of living) area, your mechanic may charge toward the higher end of the range listed above.
The good news is that timing belts don’t fail very often. Hopefully, this timing belt will last for the rest of the vehicle’s life!
If you want to save extra money, ask your mechanic about aftermarket parts instead of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. Off-brand parts are often cheaper, and there’s no harm in using them so long as they’re high-quality.
