Replacing hoses & belts in my `01 OBW.

Nope, no timing belt included in that. The only thing that was specificied when I pressed the service manager to break down the costs was just radiator (whoops, didn't mean to type radio - heh) hoses, belts. He said replacing the one radiator hose that has a pinhole leak would run $89.

I'm definately doing what I can to not use them. See the above thread entitled "Replacing timing belt on `01 OBW" where the former service manager has offered to perform the major 90k mile service for me at a much discounted rate. For now though for smaller quickie things like oil changes and multipoint inspection I do use the dealership because for under $30 it's worth it in my time. Plus their over-exaggeration of problems I have can give me an idea of what does need to be replaced/fixed in the next year or so. So I like to think for now, while I use them for something small as oil changes, I am not using them for large and outlandish services.

None taken, and I wholeheartedly agree. That's why I figured that they were exaggerating the seriousness of the leak (if there is one - I'll be getting a second opinion soon) but do take it with a grain of salt to at least investigate on my own to see if there is any credibility to any of their repair claims.
