Good Alfa Mechanic in Leeds area?

Hello, anyone know of a trusted Alfa mechanic or a good all rounder in the Leeds area? My 166 has 73000 miles and I think the cambelt should need changing. I've had a good look at it and it seems newish. Unfortunatly, I have no recent paperwork to confirm it. Thank you all!!

Alwyn Kershaw's Gate Helmsley near York, or Wynn Lear at Keighley are both experianced Alfa specialists.
There is one In Huddersfield as well, but the name escapes me.

They are very good - can be busy there sometimes though, so book early! They are located just by the stadium, on the other side of a small roundabout, so are easy to find. They did the belts and tensioners on my 166 in May 2005.

Thank you. By the way, how much did they charge for the belt and the tensioners if you don't mind me asking.

About £300 for belts and tensioners in May 2005 (including an oil change). Didn't get the variator done as it seems ok. At that price I'll probably give it another belts change in a year from now as well!
