Cam belt cost

Iam keen to keep up to date with servicing my vehicles.
My yeti is a 2016 1.2 Dsg model and I've been advised that there is a 10yr (150k miles) service limit on cam belts.
My car is 9 yrs old and only 30k, so it's coming up to needing replacement next year. So I went along to my local Skoda main dealer in Letchworth to get a quote, I was shocked when they quoted me £960 for cam belt replacement.
I was expecting £400/500 ?
Can people tell me if they have had a cam belt changed recently and what the cost should be? This quote seems really expensive to me ?

Thanks for the replies, I know going to a main dealer is always going the a bit more costly, but it was an interesting exercise!
I think I will have to shop around some local independent garages and see what they quote?
For info about belt service intervals, I have contacted both Skoda UK and main dealers and they both quoted a 10 yr or 150k lifespan for cam belts, on my vehicle year and make.
I know there's a lot of opinions about the topic, especially as it seems that the VW vehicles with similar engines have different advice on cam belt lifespan, but maybe that's just a way for them to make a bit of money in their service department?
