Default Cam belt help please

Guys
I have an 03 Sti and its ready for a cambelt change. Does anyone know of a good place to have it done in the Pontefract area ? Also what price would i be looking at for this doing?
When i had the classic i used a place called Precious Metal in Knottingley but i cant find any info on them, maybe closed down?
Sorry if i have posted it in the wrong place but i have scoured the forums and cant find any recent info on the cam belt.
Cheers in advance .

The Subaru Dealer wanted £550 for my 2001 Bug WRX
Local 'respected' motor garage wanted £640!!!!
They were just for the elts and oil change with filter...

Motorsport place that is affiliated with my local Scooby Club sorted tensioners,belt etc for £250 fitted...!!!

No where neare you I don't think....they are near Manchester....

...just wanted to tell you that you will do well to shop around...

If you can all manage to get over to Bradford, then Richard Henry Autosport comes highly recommended.
