That's cheap mate, are they changing the tensioner and pulleys as a non genuine cambelt kit would cost that alone I would of thought.

Still a good price for a belt and tensioner fitted mate.
Have you tried a google search on them to see if there's any feedback on them?

Don't know these guys may be reputable, but a word of warning. Mine had a cheap cam belt job before I bought it & a few months later it developed a bearing noise. I ended up doing it again my self they only put a belt on & all the idlers & water pump were knackered,lucky the belt didn't fall off. My full kit cost more than your quote at trade price. I would find out exactly what you are getting for your money.

Sounds like these guys are reputable from other people's experience,but I would pay them the extra for all the idlers & water pump swell as the tensioner. It may cost a fair bit more but worth it for peace of mind, & it won't need striping down again a few months later.
