Cost really does depend on who you take it to, what they charge you hourly, how many hours they charge, taxes, disposal fees, shop supplies, etc.
Personally, I'd just spend the $200 on tools and do it myself

i narrowed it to
1)ivac
2)pulley
3)belt
4) engine (i have a strong feeling this is where the problems is)

change your plugs at all? before my plug blew out of the cylinder and blew a coil into peices, my engine was making an annoying ticking sounds, replaced that plug and coil, and car doesn't tick anymore
just a thought, give it a shot
