you should get the parts from the dealer, but paying dealer labor costs ... damn, not worth it at all. i just did my timing belt and water pump and i bought the pump from the dealer and the belt from Parts Source ... oh and i also replaced the cam and crank seals from the dealer ... belt was 40-50 and waterpump and seals were 140 ... labour costs were 100 cuz i know a garage ...
