Timing Belt shop needed in CT

First time poster, long time lurker. The closest stealer, I mean dealer (Fairfield Audi), wants $1200 to do the timing belt, and another $900 to do the cam tensioner seals (oil leak). The local independent shop that I've used for years doesn't want to touch it (will tie up his shop all day, and he's too busy). He asked around at other shops and no one else wants to touch it either, they don't have the tool to secure the cams in place, and are afraid of them moving when the belt is removed (not sure why it would be so impossible to line them back up again before putting on the new belt if they did move.)

Does anyone know of a reputable shop in the CT area that will do the timing belt (for less than $1200)?

Thanks

Re: Timing Belt shop needed in CT

I prefer to use JP Motors in Woodbridge, just off exit 59 of the parkway. 203 387-6894. Ask for Joe or Scott. They just did my the timing belt, etc. on my A6 perfectly. Great people.
