Repair cost reality check 850

So I got some prices for a few things I need done on my 95 850T with 135K from an Indy repair shop I have gone to for several years. I need a reality check and some options here folks!

Heater core replacement: $565??

Strut bushings(both sides)-He won't do just the bushings but insists on new strut assemblies as well-$730

Timing belt,tensioner,Pulley: $535

Rear shock replacement:$540


My thought is to leave the rear shocks alone. I think they are fine.
Replace the heater core myself...$120 plus the replacement coolant.

Have someone else do the just the strut bushings. I believe that is the problem. I hear a rattle on the right front and you can feel it for sure when you hit bumps.

What is the going rate for the timing belt work?

Thanks folks!
