Cheap cambelt change in Shropshire?

My Xantia's cambelt needs changing. I bought a replacement 3 months ago, and still haven't found time to fit it! Can anyone recommend a garage near Shrewsbury who will do it cheaply? Best price so far is £90.00 all in - not bad, but there might be somewhere chaeper.
Thanks,
Dave.

£90 is not a bad price for a cambelt swap.

I live in Oxfordshire but my folks live in Shrewsbury, I think there is a French car specialist on the industrial estate opposite the Esso Garage quite near 'Charlie's' discount superstore & B&Q. Don't know the name though, look in the Yell Pages! Don't go to the Citroen garage in Shrewsbury, they have a bad reputation.

Your not too far from Kidderminster. Try Ferndale Garage and service center. £70 on my Xsara telephone 01562 864653. Friendly service and works too 1Pm on Saturdays.

You could try Cartech which is on the Battlefield industrial estate:

They have done various bits of work for me on BXs and Xantias, obviously a lot cheaper than Citroen but maybe not as cheap as you want. I have found them thorough and they do know Citroens.
