Default I think I got a good deal

Took my PT to the local garage today for a new timing belt. Just hit 90,000 last week so I figured it might be time to replace it. While they had it, I had them replace the water pump and the 2 other fan belts. With labor the total bill was $626. When I called the dealer a month ago, the service guy estimated it would cost me around $1000. $400 of the charge today was labor.

Yeah right. Well, I must admit, he does buy the gas for it most of the time.
