    Post Need Recommended Shops for VVT TSB repair 07 Speed3

    I'm looking for some suggestions and pricing guidance on the VVT repair that we got a TSB for a few years ago for the 2007 Mazdaspeed 3.
    I was debating whether or not to even repair as I might be getting a new car next year. But the noise has gotten a lot worst and I'm pretty sure the engine is getting close to catastrophic failure.

    A few years ago I remember a Mazda service guy giving me a estimate of $1500. Just looking for info from anyone who has done the repair already and prices you have paid either through dealership or private.

    Thanks!!

    do yourself a favor and do it at a mazda dealer or a well known mazda shop. The motor is not keyed and if the proper tools for timing are not used the motor can/will suffer serious engine damage.
    I had my timing cover replaced which is about the same work. If I remember price was roughly in the 800ish range plus the parts. To me that was cheap insurance/peace of mind. A used/new motor would have been so much more
