Hi.
I'm looking to see if anyone knows any Ecoboost/Wet Belt Specialists in Newcastle or Sunderland as I'm looking to get a full wet belt (timing & oil) service done, including the aux belt too before the end of this year or early 2025.
Would also be willing to travel around the surrounding areas but would prefer to keep within the areas mentioned if possible or depending on price & availability.

I've yet to contact the local Ford dealerships around me for quotes as I know they will probably be ridiculous, but I will end up contacting them too.

I've only found these two places fairly local. Both Facebook pages seem to not have been updated for a year to months.

We spotted one on EBay in that area a while back, but the listing seems to have disappeared now. Perhaps not surprising as it looked suspiciously cheap.

I've noticed there are people on EBay now doing the job - the cheapest I've spotted so far was £680.

Yeah, I may have to go with a dealership. Going to enquire with them this week.

When I am asking for quotes I want to make sure that everything that is supposed to be done, gets done. So after looking around and doing some research, I've made a list of what people say needs to be done and just want to double check on here too.
I'll just make a list but please correct me if I have missed something and also named something wrong. It would be highly appreciated 🙏
