Have paid 159 for service. I have a 07 KIA rio. I had it nct last week and it passed without any pre checks. Does this quote seem…

Have paid 159 for service. I have a 07 KIA rio. I had it nct last week and it passed without any pre checks. Does this quote seem reasonable? I am going to be in the north next week and I am awaiting a call back from a dealer there.. Anyone know if there would be a significant difference in price? 390 seems high and I am clueless. Thanks

Seems a reasonable price for T/belt change. I've been quote 400 incl water pump change.

Off topic, but dang I have to change mine in about 5,000 miles or so (1.4 Honda Civic saloon).
