If the timing belt hasn't been changed you should do it. Satan does charge quite a bit to do this, as it is not an easy task. But its cheaper to replace it now then to replace it when it breaks, because then most likely you will also be rebuilding a head.......

I believe when you change the timing belt they want you to also change the water pump or else your radiator will leak and your car will overheat.. I also need to get my car checked out..it's near the 105,000 mile mark..but I just changed the water pump/ timing belt.. I think all i'm going to get Satan to do is change the spark plugs, brakes, and oil change and whatever else they need to do..hope this helps
