What year is it?
How many miles does it have?
It is possible to take the cover off and make some judgements as to its condition and probable age. Ask what the dealer would charge for this.
Do you know where the car might have been when the belt was due. In my experience dealers that I have called have shared whatever information that they have. Call other dealers in the area.
If in doubt, change the belt. If you are an ace mechanic the belt does not cost much and is a far easier job than repairing the front end.
Call any other brand of dealer and ask them the same question, perhaps they are all crap, I don,t think that mine is.
