What's the cost for a Honda crv vtc actuator replacement?

The labor $20-$40 is not accurate. I’m a Honda Master Technician. The VTC replacement labor time is typically 4.5 hours for just the actuator and most dealerships are around 150 per labor hour if not more. So $675 is a ballpark to pay just for labor. The part from the Honda catalog is around $265 retail. So you’re really looking at $940 before tax to get this procedure done. With all that being said if the vehicle has over 200k on the engine, your best best is to replace the cam chain, tensioner and both guides…depending if the chain is stretched past the service limit. I typically do everything for 6-7 hours of labor. At least it’s done right with peace of mind and you can’t beat Honda genuine parts. Just something to think about. These are actual numbers for this type of repair. Hope this helps someone.

My car is a 2014 CRV with less then 50,000 mile and my VTC is going out,Germain Honda in Dublin, Ohio quoted me at least $2500 to put it in. I’ll go anywhere but Honda again, first new car I had and babied it, went with Honda because of its good name and dependable, ha!

Brandon Stone is correct - I was just priced $955 to replace mine in my Honda CRV from the dealership

I was just quoted a cost of $1800 for vtc actuator in Columbia, Md.

At the Honda dealer in Poway, CA, they just replaced my Honda CR-V VTC actuator at 163 000 miles for $1472. They also said they had to replace the drive belt tensioner for $540.

First thing, stop going to the dealership if cost is a concern. Just had the VTC actuator replaced on my 2013 CRV at my local shop. Cost $600, 2.7hrs labor (Honda TSB 09-010 says 2.0hrs while Alldata says 5.4hrs, crazy difference). Part was $146, gasket $33.

I love idiots on the internet who claim (Alex) they know what they are talking about when an actual trade person pipes up only to correct them get back in your moms basement and get a job

Honda Service Bulletin #16-012 indicates that Honda’s warranty claim (dealer reimbursement) indicates that the flat rate time to replace the VTC actuator is 2.0 hours.

The difference is small shop rates vs the dealership I have had mine replaced 4 times at the dealer Every 2 years had it done at a small shop after the last time it went and it’s fixed

Just got a quote from the Honda dealership as $1500 USD. They changed twice in my vehicles history, really bad designed Honda CRV 2013

Was quoted 1900 at a dealership in CT for parts and labor for replacement of the whole VTC timing assembly

$2300 for actuator + $351 for purge valve. Princeton Honda (NJ)

There is a spring-start.com Honda Acura VTC Actuator Repair Kit available for $35

I was just quoted from a Honda dealership in MA: $2850.14 total to replace the VTC Actuator with the timing chains.

Mine was around $850 in Memphis two years ago. Now it is bad again! 😭2013 CRV. Gonna try a repair shop this time not the Honda dealership. What is the warranty on that type of work?

I call dealerships as Stealer-ships. What is logic of charging $150 hourly for labor?

Any suggestions on shops in the San Diego area to have the VTC replaced. Trying to avoid the dealership for this repair

I live in St Louis. To replace the VTC on my 2013 CRV it cost over $900.

Hi Brandon, I spoke with my local dealer's service Mgr and he told me about $2k fir replacement. Mentioned the timing chain and valves and possible metal in the oil. Seems excessive to me based on your comment above. Thoughts? Thx!!

To replace the blend door actuator on the Honda crv will cost you between $200 and $220. With labor being $80 to $100 while parts are $120.
