I'm not sure what motor you have (country ?) but I think you have 
a timing *chain*, not a belt. A timing chain most likely just 
chew up a gasket, so I think that's malarkey. In any event, a timing
chain is good for 100K miles when properly installed. It's the 
full responsibility of the repair shop on this one.
