If a person doesn’t know if the belt has been changed, it is possible to pry back the timing belt cover and look in there with a flashlight.

How much does it cost to replace timing belt?
The belt itself is about $70, but the labor is $400. If you get someone to replace the belt, have them replace the water pump as well. The pump will run about $100, but saves you the $400 in labor if it needs to be replaced a couple of months later. Yeah~!I had the same question.
