Default 92 SC400 Timing Belt/Kit $800

sc has 91k on it, all original parts.

Local shop will do timing belt kit including water pump, hoses, tensioner, parts and labor for $800.

That sound reasonable?

That's a good price, depending on parts used, if you get an original Toyota water pump, gates timing belt kit with tentioner and pulley, then you got a great deal!!
If not original parts , you'll be doing the waterpump again, I can't comment on timing belts, but yeah the price is good...
Toyota dealers usually charts in the range of 1100-1200 depending on the dealer to do all the above

Sounds like a fair price, but why not just order the parts and do it yourself? You'd be surprised it's not as hard as you think

That price sounds fairly cheap. Just make sure the mechanic is one you trust. Personal experience, used a mechanic to replace some major engine parts on one of my vehicles and the mechanic put something on backwards which caused a rod shoot through the bottom of the motor.
