Head gasket? Are you sure they didn't quote you the valve cover gasket? They are different, and the head gasket shouldn't be changed unless it's blown. Mine has 265,000 miles on it and the head gasket has never been changed, but the valve cover gasket gets changed every time the cover is off. Timing belts are usually between 300 and 600 and I recommend you have the water pump changed at the same time (saves on labor cost and the pump is usually about 60 dollars). From people I've talked to about doing their own timing belts, it sounds like it's best left to the pros. It's not easy to get at in our cars and the consequences of not doing it right means you have to have it towed to a shop to get it fixed which will cost. Good luck!
