Exclamation Good shops and/or mechanics to do timing belt + water pump service for my IS300

Hey guys,

I'm gonna need to get my timing belt and water pump service done really soon, so does anyone know of a good mechanic and/or shop that can do it for me for a reasonable price? Topline Motorworks in Kent, WA quoted $750ish+tax for non-OEM parts and $910ish+tax for OEM parts, but that was last year, so I dunno what the going rate for this kind of service is now.

I live in Kent, but going to school up in Bellingham. Willing to travel as south as Tacoma. Service must be done on the weekend or possibly Friday.

Thanks.

I mostly get my service done at Toyota of Olympia and they charge me no different then any other Toyota. Prices are much lower than Lexus. Occasionally I take it in to Lexus If I feel like having a nice new loaner car. lol
