1994 Ford Escort 4 cyl Manual 105000 miles

I have a 1994 Escort LX wagon with 105K and it needs the timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt, tensioners, and coolant replaced. My mechanic would like to charge $715, which includes tax, labor, and a $25 tow. Is this reasonable? Other than these items, the car is in great shape.

Price is good if T-Belt broke while engine was running it may have bent some valves so repair may run higher ask about this posibility and additional charge.
