Default Timing Belt Replacement

Bought a 2000 EX Coupe. Needs a timing belt. Does anyone know of an installer in the area of Aurora/Naperville, IL that they trust and has a fair price for the replacement? I know it needs a timing belt because I asked the previous owner who called the dealership where he had oil changes done till ~100K (I saw it on Carfax) and local shop which said that it hadn't been done. One owner car here's the best part . . . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . it has 185,000 miles. Let me spell that out in case you think it is a typo. One hundread and eighty-five thousand miles.

Around 2K RPM on acceleration I hear a nice squeaky, squeaky. When she's warm I also hear a squeaky. My first thought was accessory belts. they look okay, but we know they could be squeaking because they are stretched. Anyway, timing belt is more imperative and I'll probably have them replace the accessory belts since they have to be removed anyway. Other than that the car is tip top.

Finally, I took it on a 400 mile trip this past weekend and still got 37 MPG on the highway.
