Question ST170 Cam belt - recommend melbourne mechanic..

Hi, ST170 crossed the big timing belt line in the sky (160 Mm :-) and is also 19.5 years old, and on it's first belt.

El Deelor says 1100 parts, and won't even mention either expected hours or a minimum labour cost, though I'm sure if they opened their wiz bang computer - it would tell them 3.45 hr or whatever...

I looked at some older threads:

, but these are between 10-13 years old, and I didn't see any Melbourne shops mentioned.
Priced mentioned ranged form $250 to $900 complete.

I frequent Melbourne Inner NorthWest, or Mid SouthEast, and am after recommendation for a mechanic who has hopefully done ST170s before and can do this without messing up the VCT, and at a decent price ?
