Default time for timing belt

I got an estimate for timing belt, water pump(belt?), and tension rollers, its at $700 and I asked to have antifreeze changed too.
The guys said it like $15 a gallon. Would do it myself but Thanksgiving trip is coming and I need it done soon, plus never even seen my timing belt before.
I'm at 87k now I know everyone says timing belt at like 60k, but better late than never!
What is your take on the price? is that good? Bad?

Default was quoted $1000...

I did my own timing belt, water pump, and replaced the three other belts for $230 in parts.

Default Update

I got the car back last night. They changed all the belts, tensioners and waterpump, changed oil and flushed cooling and used the g303 or whatever its called. They also told me the front seal on the crankshaft was leaking (I knew my oil was low, but thought it was from burn off) so they added it in and everything came out to 938. I guess it isn't too bad, I really wish it was cheaper cause college boy needs his beer!
