The only thing a competent person may have issues with is the belt timing. That requires special tools. A friend of mine (isn't a mechanic) does everything but that and takes it to his local dealer and they do it for $45. So on top of parts and oil, he's paying $45 to service his 749. Not bad really. If you get all the shims and everything you're good to go. Just make sure you follow the required service items and get in good with your local mechanic. That way you can do all the bits you want and take it to them for the rest and you've got a totally valid service.
