I wanted to know if I should change my timing belt since my car hit 121,000miles. as well as the water pump and all the acc belts. my car runs perfect and feels great but people are telling me i should change the timing belt before it goes. if so, should i by the parts ahead of time and take them the mechanic since the parts are inexpensive? i can go to hondaautomotiveparts.com

Hi there,

You car is well over due for the timing belt, i would get it done ASAP as if it fails you will do serious engine damage, best ask your mechanic if he is happy with fitting your supplied parts, some will not do this as it cuts their margin on the profit.
