OMG Cam belt and service costs

[Magic_x_uk]

Hi, I have a W Reg, Renault Laguna 5 dr, 1.6 16valve Alize.

It was just serviced today (Major service) also had a new Cam Belt put on and a water pump, Total cost £380

this was not from a main dealer but a mechanic who i have used and friends use etc for a few years and always touch wood been happy.

Does that sound like a acceptable price ? or Robin Hood land ?

And i still need to get 2 new front tyres this week. Its only tuesday!!

Thanks

Cheers guys, just wasnt sure as i know diddly squat about cars. Didnt want to think i could have been taken for a ride. This guy has always been good in the past. Just hit me with that huge amount. Mind you if the cam belt had snapped whilst driving it would have been a lot more expensive.

Yeah, renault dealer wanted silly money. eg: my heater control that you turn to move the air on your feet, windshield, face etc snapped/ cable broke last year, i rang my renault dealer and they said it would be around £1300 to replace the cable as they had to take the entire dash out.

I said whilst laughing, forget it and I cope with it stuck on the windscreen.
