Taking a gamble on a timing belt is not a very wise decision and could end you up with an even bigger cost. fair enough the car never told you or the website but all you need to do is pickup a maintanance manual or look online when these things are due and you will know what is coming up.

unless a dealer gives you an exceptional service then continue using them but if not then dont bother. I used to use the dealer in leamington spa because they knew the car, were very friendly, I got a nice courtecy car and they let me bring my own cheaper parts ... since coming to truro the dealer here are not friendly and I dont trust them with ripping me of so I just go indy now.

If you dont want the dealer to get it done then get a cost up from an indy or buy the parts yourself and get a garage to fit it for you (cheapest option)

A car cannot tell you its costs in the future you just have to plan for everything. This form is great for vehicle mileage and what people have had / changed worn etc etc
