NO! Toyota timing belts are good for at least 15 years or more. Don't waste your money. Also, the shop will screw up your timing by doing a sloppy job and break something else that will show up mysteriously later, giving them another avenue to screw you over.



On a Toyota belt, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Toyota timing belts can break without damaging the engine. They are non-interference type. It is just best to drive the car until it breaks, then replace it.

Depends on the mileage.Over 150k maybe yes.Check with a good mechanic.
yes.
Yes!!

Recommendation for timing belt changes is 100K. Snap a timing belt blow ur friggin engine!
Yes there is a mileage that it should be changed regardless of it's condition. It should tell you when in your owners manual. This car has an interference engine in it and if the belt breaks you'll bend your valves. Get it done when it's supposed to be done or else!
