Yep. It is a barsteward, its three belts. No, not main dealer, I think we all know about main dealers ;)

It's a local independent that I've used for years and actually trust. They're not cheap but I've had my fill of CHEAP garages. By the the time you've sorted out their break ups, it usually works out very dear  >:(
