I need to change my timing belt and spark plugs and get an alignment. The dealer is far from where I work as is the mechanic that I'd prefer to use. Does anyone think it would be okay to have Midas handle this, or will they f it up?
It's an '01 tiptronic GS.

Personally I would do it myself, but I think they will be okay.

Like Seb says its not all that hard to do yourself...its a 4g64... Had it been a 6g72 it would be a bitch.

If it is not that hard why do they say it is a 4 hr job?

Sounds like it would be ok, make sure you get them mitsubishi parts to put back on.

Who knows! They could have a very good Tech or it could be the local crack head. I would let a factory trained Tech do it because if they screw it up it will bend all your valves(big $).
