1990 740 GLE 16 V trustworthy shop to change timing belts


I have a 740 GLE 16 V with 135,000 ---the timing belts were last change at 75,000 about 10 years ago.
Car in good shape, no oil leaks. I'm a bit protective, and need someone to change the belts, but don't know anyone within 40 miles of Modesto I can trust who really knows these more vintage peculiarities. Hope they know to also change the tensioner, pulleys, and oil pump bolts,etc. can't seem to find any independents in the valley familiar with these. Should I just trust a " European" car shop to do this
