I had the belts on my T4 done early this year, local mechanic here did it for me. he was cool with VW T4 and knew his stuff. Belts wernt cheap and I think he only charged me a couple of hundred plus parts.
For all the grieve and possiblity of incorrect timing - worth it!
I am very fussy with my mechanical work so like to do it myself. Garages are normally under pressure to do the job quickly & often tend to get a bit rough.
There are a lot of plastic clips holding pipes on the T4 & are easily broken. They are hard to replace with new ones because the parts dept. can't find them on the parts screen.
Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
