Different shops charge different labor rates. Plus, that shows to be an interference engine. Don't know what damage might have been done?

If you do the work yourself, expect about $200 for parts if you replace the water pump (recommended) as well as shaft seals and might as well replace all other belts. If you take it to a shop probably $500 to $1,200 for labor and parts. This is taking into consideration that no extra engine damage was done. I just replaced a timing belt and all above mentioned parts on a honda prelude and total parts cost was a little under $200. If you have bent valves or anything of the sort you could be looking at another $500 or so for that to be fixed. Really depends on how much damage was caused when the belt broke.
