That's a bit high, although I bet there are dealers out there that charge that much. You may be able to get it for under $1000 at an independant shop.
Be sure that you really need the change the belt- they last a long time, way beyond the recommended factory change interval. There's plenty more details on this issue if you care to search.

For that amount of money, you could purchase the service manuals, all tools and parts needed to complete the job yourself. You'll even have money left over to complete most other engine service. Get your dad and brother to help. My 2c.

i think it took us about 4 hours or so..
my uncle has all the tool in his home garage.. air tool n such. and yea
hmm time to flush the coolant now.. since he mixed tap water with my distilled/coolant stuff.
now gotta fix the power steering.. Need that seal kit.
just wondering.. does the gasket kit for the power steering come with ALL the O rings and stuff?

Depends on the year of the sc400. The earlier models are non-interference and the later models are interference. If the timing belt breaks while driving on a non-interference model, it will not harm the engine. Interference timing belts will hurt the engine. I forget which years are which, but do a search since I remember a topic on this before.
