If its vertex, run away. Many years ago I had a 944 that I took there to have the timing belt inspected since I had recently purchased the car. They charged me for the inspection, said the belt was fine and 3 weeks later the timing belt broke, requiring the heads to be rebuilt because of bent valves.

The timing belts were so old and worn they were almost crumbling. Clearly, they never even checked the belts.
