Default Need advice on a repair shop

I just got a 93 stealth r/t with 92k miles. I do not know if the timing belt was changed or the 60K service so I would like to do it. I went to the local dealerships dodge/mitsu and they had a real big difference in prices and parts needed. So I hope that somebody could give me a good mechanic's name , phone or a repair shop's name where they are a bit specialized for stealths.
thanks.

have good ride

I'm located in longwood / orlando FL

Dodge told me to change 4 camshaft seals and a crank seal, timing belt, a/c belt, powerstearing belt, idler sprocket , timing adjuster, thermostat, waterpump, and tensioner. It is about $ 500 in parts. Pep Boys will do the work with parts included for $670 but they did not tell me which parts are they going to change. So my dilema is I want to do the best for the car but also for my pocket. This is the reason I was looking for a "stealth" experienced mechanic.

Thank again I appreciate all your input.

Where are you located?

For the 60k service, you should change out the water pump, t-belt tensioner, belt, two t-belt idlers. It wouldn't hurt to have them change the tensioners/idlers for the accessory belts as well. That is pretty much it.

Call some local shops, try to find one with some experience with the DOHC 6g72 engine. See if they will let you order parts yourself, that should save you a few bucks.

A guy I know works at Precision Auto in Minnesota (I knew him before he worked there, so I know he's not lying) quoted me at about $800.00 for that shop to do it...and he's pretty familiar w/mitsu engines. I'd try a Precision Auto.
