My older brother needs his timing chain fixed on his '97 Dodge Stratus (4cyl) and, with labor, it will cost $900. We live in Minnesota, USA. It definitely varies so much, as my nearby auto repair shop (a Goodyear Gemini car care place) charged me $999 for the massive amount of time it took to re-seal the exhaust manifold. Someone stayed later that night and worked on it before they opened up shop to get it done for me too. Only $99 more for what was definitely longer than 5 hours.
