As someone who had two belts break on a Camry, believe me, yes, they do
break.

Re: timing belt scam...
Yeah, the belt will "look fine" until it breaks, then you're screwed. It's
called preventative maintenance. If this concept is new to you then start
looking forward to very high repair bills. Next you'll be telling us that
oil changes are a money making scam because you didn't blow your engine yet.

Re: timing belt scam...YES IT IS
Yes! It is a SCAM! And so is the oil change. These places recommend 3k
changes. I guarantee if you just add when it is needed the engine will run
50k before it seizes. Just save all that oil money and replace the motor at
50k :-)
Sometimes I can't help myself :-)
