90k service quote

90k service quote
Just had a quote from Mocom racing (who I'm told are quite good) for my RB5's 90k service.
With cambelt they're saying £805
Luckily my car had a cambelt change at 75k and without that it's £499.
Now, does that sound about right or should I look elsewhere? £805 seems insanely steep - I remember reading a while back that it should be around the 600 mark. Is £499 without the cambelt too much?
Not to mention I'm going to need brake discs all round and new tyres......... Expensive few months coming up.
Cheers guys

I use Tim a mobile mechanic, think he once worked for Zen.

Both prices seem reasonable (but not competitive) compared to other specialists to me.
Tim at SUB-BUS has done a few bits on my car recently including a 60k service on mine, I would expect that he would come in at around two thirds of those prices due to lower overheads. I would thoroughly recommend him, I suspect that he would travel to cambridge for bigger jobs, if not you could always go to him?
As above has probably worked on your car before at Zen!

Does seem a bit pricey, i would expect to pay about £500ish, maybe a bit more.
Subaru cambelts are quite an easy job. You can pick one up for £40 on scoobyworld, or scoobyparts, and pretty good as I have one on mine and running 300 brake, and no issues. So maybe buy one and that'll bring price down.
Also speak to ian at godspeed about disks and pads all round, he does a good deal.

Cheers for the replies - I've given Tim a ring and he'll be getting me a quote later today hopefully. I think if he's a lot cheaper (which looking at his labour rates he should be) I'll go with him!
Thanks for the input.
