Default More than one engine belt?

Went in for my 60K and the adviser told me the "accessory belt" is part of the 60K. I mentioned the timing belt is due at 90K, not 60, and he said this was a different belt.

Searching here before I went in gave me the confidence to walk out when I was quoted $1400 for the 60K (thanks all).

That said, there's only ONE belt for the engine and accessories, correct?

Sounds rich!

Here's a link to what is included in the 60k service.

The accessory belt is not a routine part of the 60k service unless they inspected it and determined that it requires repalcement. Take this list to a Toyota dealer and save yourself 30%.

There are two different belts on the GX, a timing belt and a drive belt for the accessories. Neither one is due for replacement until the 90k service.

Take Cssnms advice and go to a Toyota dealer, you will save some cash.
