Yep. It is a barsteward, its three belts. No, not main dealer, I think we all know about main dealers ;)
It's a local independent that I've used for years and actually trust. They're not cheap but I've had my fill of CHEAP garages. By the the time you've sorted out their break ups, it usually works out very dear >:(

...and the spark plugs replacement on my Previa is an engine-out job :(
...and the engine can only be removed from underneath the car, so no way this is a DIY job :'(
Luckily they are good for 63,000 miles :)

I could buy a nice Elite for that... to include a new timing belt kit which I could fit in an hour ;D
