New LX owner in Tampa area looking for a good mechanic to do the timing belt

[RR2]

Howdy! I am stoked and purchased a 2005 LX470, single owned, FL car with 165k miles on it. It is super minty and I have all the maintenance records from Lexus. It was dealer maintaned. I have started baselining it and the timing belt was changed in 2013 at 110k miles by the dealer, but it appears that the water pump is failing and there is cooling coming from the weep hole. I replaced the heater T's already. I am a pretty good mechanic, but I am not sure I want to tackle the timing belt in my driveway. Can anyone recommend a good knowledgeable mechanic in the Tampa, FL area?

Toy house on 301 are great and only work on Toyota and Lexus vehicles. I think one of the owners drives a 60 series
