Default Good place to get T-belt changed?

My gf's Eclipse is coming up on 60k, looking for a reputable shop to do it relatively cheap. Any recommendations?

I work. A lot. If time wasn't an issue, I WOULD do it myself.

I've always gone by 60k on the t-belt. On my Jetta, I did it at 60k (myself, actually). Then had to do the clutch (myself) at 65k cause I got throttle-happy after chipping. I don't consider myself a VW guy anymore though, I drive a Mazda nowadays. And occasionally drive a subaru EJ20-powered Porsche 914.

Anyhow, back to the original topic-- suggestions, anyone?

I applaud this guy for actually doing the maintenance the car needs and not waiting till after it's too late.
