So How much did YOU actually pay?  For the work done, it doesn't look 
bad, in fact, my initial impression was 'what's wrong with them?
Less than $200 for all that?'.

     I AGREE WITH ORIN..... HOW'D YOU GET AWAY SO CHEAPLY?  I PAID $176 FOR 
     A TIMING BELT CHANGE EARLIER THIS MONTH AT THE LOCAL AUDI DEALER. 
     (THATS ALL THEY DID, I ASKED THEM TO CHECK/CHANGE MY OTHER BELTS IF 
     NEEDED, BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE FINE)  
     
     OBVIOUSLY, SINCE THEY WERE IN THERE TO CHANGE THE SEAL FOR THE OIL 
     LEAK IT MADE PERFECT SENSE TO CHANGE THE TIMING BELT, WATER PUMP, AND 
     ONE OF THE OTHER BELTS (ALTERNATOR OR COMPRESSOR).  PLUS YOU GOT THE 
     OIL CHANGE AS WELL!
