Found another quote from a shop that's highly recommended by some local
folks here. They use belts from Mighty Auto Parts - it's actually 4
belts in total... $395. I made my appointment for tomorrow morning.
Thank you all for your reponses! I feel much more confident now.

You should be interested in whose parts Mighty Auto Parts will supply to
the repair facility.

Sounds like Mighty Auto Parts distributes many different brands?
Urghh... the repair shop indicated they would only replace the belts
with the "highest quality belts... Mighty Belts, so we can warranty
your work." They told me the belts they use are the only belts they
will warranty and are as good or better than the OEM. I hope so.

As long as they will warranty it when the timing belt breaks at 80K and
buggers up the valves, I say do it.

Turns out all 4 belts are Goodyear. The 3 drive belts are warrantied
for a lifetime; the timing belt is only warrantied for 1 year or
12,000 miles. Sucks, but when I called around nobody would warranty
for more than a year (except the dealer, I'm sure).

In that case insist that they use a Hyundai timing belt. Otherwise,
you'll void the factory warranty (Hyundai can deny the claim if you use
an aftermarket timing belt) and risk trashing your engine. Your best bet
is to go to the dealer, buy the belt and bring it with you when you drop
off the car. The other belts are much less critical, so I wouldn't worry
about them.
