Time to change timing belt. Suggestion?

Hello. all,
My car just hit the 160000km yesterday and I want to the timing belt change.
Should I do this in dealership?
What kind of works is involved?
How much should I expect?
Is there any good shop other than dealer which they guarantee their work?
Any input is welcome.

I am located in Toronto, work in Mississauga.

Thanks in advance.

its pretty involved, i would say $400-500 expect to pay. i would also change water pump (and crank pulley if you have extra money).
