Repair costs / Serpentine belt replacement

Serpentine belt replacement cost: what's fair?

Typical all-in range (parts + labor)

$56–$265

Parts about $18–$45. Labor about $38–$220 (0.4–1 hrs at typical rates).

A serpentine belt replacement is usually prompted by squealing from the engine or a worn belt. The single biggest driver of an unfair price isn't the labor — it's parts markup. Shops commonly charge well above retail for the part itself, and that's the easiest thing for you to verify and push back on.
