Prices, brands, Tune up...

So this morning I called the stealership, wanted a full tune up...they quoted me parts and labour at $585.00 (Canadian)

So I go online and find a warehouse type import auto place in the GTA, selling mostly Bosch (filters), and Serpentine (Belts) anyone use these brands ?? the prices are below sounds reasonable or to good to be true ? Less then the stealership including a timing belt and water pump.

Radiator Cap $12.60
Power Steering Belt $25.60
Fuel Filter $49.40
Air Filter $50.00
Water Pump $133.40
Timing Belt $57.50

Total $ 328.50 not including labour.

Suggestions, comments ?
