Default New cambelt - best place to go

Hi, I have recently purchased my car (Impreza WRX 2006) and from what I can see, the cambelt has not been changed so I would really like to sort this.

I live next to Gatwick Airport and wondered if anyone knows a decent mechanic that can help me with this please?

I phoned Gatwick Subaru for a quote and was told £630 - cambelt, tensioners and oil change. Is that price about right or too much?

Please help

Thanks

Stacey

Definitely talk to East Sussex Mobile Services. Will be by far your best value for money- get parts from Alyn @ AS and then have Stuart at ESMS do your work.
