How much to pay for timing belt (105K mile) change at dealer (elsewhere)? V70-XC70 2001

I will need to replace the timing belt for my V70 T5 in near future.
The local dealer does this with a package price for oil change and a
few other odds and ends.

I'm not able to do this myself and so far local independants have been disappointing.

Questions:

1) What have others paid to have this done? (Dealer or Indy?)
2) What is a fair (or tolerable) price to pay and/or a
reasonable price?

Need to know how much to shop around for this as have some time
to do so.

    I paid about $550 for replacing timing belt at a dealer. I don't know if this is fair enough, but I think that it should be professional enough for the rest of my car's life.

    replace Serpentine belt, timing belt , timing belt tensioner, and timing belt pulley.

    I'd say about 2 hours labor plus parts. I have a 94 850 and that runs about $225-$300 at local volvo indy. Depends on if the decide to do pulley - which is about every other change.

    I bought a t/b, serp belt, water pump, idler pulley, tensioner, ftont cam/balance/crank seals at FCP Groton. I took the parts and copy of Bay 13 t/b how tos to my mechanic and he replaced all the above for $300. I took the how tos because he doesn't work on Volvos.

    I'm no expert but the t/b, w/p, tens & pulley appeared to be in excellent condition at 97K. Though I'd still change the t/b at the prescribed interval
    98 S70 t5 bought with 97K on the odo.

    In Memphis, $800, at an independent shops in central PA, $600. Part are $150-$200 and you could do it yourself, if you have the tools and above averge skills. Good Luck
