Dallas area: Lookin for a Good Price & Good shop to replace timing belt and w.pump

Does anyone know of an independent Toyota repair place in the Dallas metroplex who charges reasonably to replace the TB/WP in a 2000 4Runner LTD?

Dealer said about $520.00

This includes:

Timing belt
All drive belts
Water Pump
Labor

I'm not being cheap, I just didn't know if this was a reasonable price or not.
I've had the 4 cyl. Camry belt replaced for $150.00
so I needed to know if there's that much more involved in the six of the 4Runner.

If you can't get a recommendation, go to a dealer. If you find a recommended mechanic who does solid work, the dealer has no advantage that makes up for the difference in price on this job.

Well I had the drive belts, Timing belt, and Water pump replaced at Toyota of Richardson for $525.00

I'm pleased with the work and ToyotaTech is right: "Warranty on all work done"!

Just for information's sake, I would get a recommendation for dealers also. Not all service departments are created equal. Some really suck. Warranty or no warranty.
