Ok so my boyfriend timing belt went out on his truck. He says it's going to take a month or two to fix it.
But for some reason, I don't believe him. It seems like he's just saying that so he doesn't have to be with me for awhile.
So how long does it normally take to fix a timing belt?
(his truck is a '93 s10)

The Chevy S10 does not have a timing belt. GM uses a metal chain which requires no maintenance, never has to be replaced and quite frankly, never break.
Time for a new boyfriend.

The 93 Chevrolet S10 is NOT equipped with a timing belt! I'll go ahead and enjoy the show now.

well at the shop a week or so unless they are booked. I doubt that the shop is booked for a month or two. In actual time a few hours at the out most. varies on the skills and varies on the make/ model of the vehicle. Some belts need changed at 90,000 miles a timing chain can last up to 200,000. example its recomended to change the timing belt on VW at 85,000 miles and change the timing chain on a MB at 200,000 The could be possible major engine damage to the point of replacing the engine. In that case your bf may be shopping for another car.

Should take a day or two, max a week, in a garage if the timing belt broke, there could be major engine damage but two months i dont think so. Unless he tries to do it himself!
