Cskirving

My 5 years is up in November so was currently pricing to have my timing belt replaced as well to play it safe despite only doing 30k miles . The local Skoda dealer is saying £780 to replace it and ones a bit further away are even more expensive £936 etc. This was all through trying to book on the Skoda website. I went to a local independent garage for a price and they said they need a specific tool to remove my timing belt and I would have to go direct to Skoda which seems wrong from what everyone else has said about going to other garages. Currently waiting on other quotes to come back. My car is a 2017 Octavia SE TSI 1.5.
