Recommended Garage for Wet Belt Change in Berkshire

Hi all,

New to the forum — hoping someone can help!

We've just been gifted a 2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost 125 bhp for my eldest to learn to drive in, which is great, but we know the wet belt change is now over due based on age (even though it’s only done 31,000 miles).

I’ve had a search through the forum but couldn’t find anything specific for Berkshire, so thought I’d post to ask directly.

Can anyone recommend a trusted garage or specialist in Berkshire (or nearby) who’s experienced with this job and these engines?

Really appreciate any advice or suggestions!

    Theres quite a few becoming that cheap down south too. 
     

    MCR Automotive in Ruislip, London is £750 for the full works. Records himself doing it too so you can see all the work done. Mobile guy using his own Garage. Bunch of reviews on him and all positive  

    AMS in Berkshire is £850. Less reviews; quite a few saying his communication isn’t great but the work was spot on. Another Mobile guy but has a unit too it seems like. 
     

    then of course PL Automotive over Essex way at £800.
