Damn it
So last Friday i was leaving work and my car wouldn't start. Fast forward to Monday and i found out my timing belt snapped and i might have a couple bent valves. The shop said it would be around $500 for the whole job. The worst part is i was only at 80,532 miles
Has anyone changed their belt them self?

Like everyone said, it's not a bad deal at all if the belt really did snap. Whoever owned the car before you probably left the car idle without driving it like many people I see down here do. They just sit inside with the A/C on for hours...or maybe just because of the age of the belt and some environmental factors affecting it.

When you start it, do you hear the starter cranking? But no engine turn?
That means timing belt....
If no crank, no noise, no starter....could be the starter.
