ethan spend 15 dollars on a timing belt tension tool or just zipstrip the belt to the cam gears and swap the cams out your self. You would need some very common tools like a socket set (metric) and pop the valve cover off take off the cam holder plates off and put your new cams in then torque the plates back down to specs and reverse the disassembly whalah. This article should get you started

850 is a nice chunk of change but is prob avg for quality work at your more known shops.

If you look in the how to do forums they have steps in there on some short cuts. But the way I was taught in school is to take the head off.
