I'm assuming you plan to get a garage to do it. I would phone around and get quotes for the labour and parts and also quotes for labour only. See what the difference is, You have to remember if you supply the parts most garages will not guarantee the work which means if something goes wrong you will be buggered. For the sake of saving yourself a few quid on the belts I would just get somewhere to do the full job for peace of mind.

you can ask them to use oem parts for sure.....
And tbh they get parts at trade price; which is almost certain cheaper than ebay
