★ Top Answer
Replacing the timing chain on a Chevy Equinox can set you back around $900 to $1150, depending on the local labor rates in your area. The bulk of this expense comes from the labor involved, which can take over 8 hours for a mechanic to complete due to the complexity of the procedure and the challenge of accessing it in the engine bay. While the chain itself typically costs $50 to $150, it is recommended to have a professional handle the replacement to ensure the timing is correctly adjusted on your engine.
