Answer
Hi Nina,

The cost of the belt is about $20-$30. Sometimes, you can find an independent shop to do the work for about $100-$150. The Toyota V-6 engine is is one of the more difficult engines to do a timing belt replacement on especially in a Camry because it's "transversely mounted". If you are looking to save money on labor, I would not recommend that you take it to a Toyota dealer.
