★ Top Answer
The 2012 Chevy Malibu originally had a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, with the higher-end versions having a 3.6L V6 engine as standard. Both models use a timing chain system. Should you ever need to replace the chain, a complete new kit typically ranges from $90 to $150. Taking it to a mechanic could cost you between $400 and $800 for parts and labor. The chain is durable and should last over 300,000 miles, so it's unlikely you'll need to replace it unless it has suffered significant damage.
