Should cover the belt, coolant, necessary gaskets/o-rings. Maybe get them to throw in a serp belt to sweeten the deal.

$420 is about right...do one yourself (correctly) and that price is a bargain. The belt and the water pump is good for 120K no sweat. The previous post about changing the starter too, is absurd. You're no where near the starter during the belt change.Those starters are good forever (except for the starter contacts if you short hop alot). Only replace with genuine Toyota starter. Ask Lexus LS400 people about all of this.....they've been driving the same motor, for all intents, for years.
