Do you need a belt or a chain? My Saab broke a belt out of state and the mechanic fixed it fir $75.00. $1100.00 sounds like your mechanic needs to make his boat payment

wow ...i'd change the timing chain for that much...but to answer your question yes that is a lot....you could probably have it done for around 100-150 bucks if you get the right (honest)person/mechanic

You could probably buy a newer car for that much. It is way to much, hell you can probably go to the dealership for less than that.

Way too much.
For that you could have bought a lot of tools and do it your self.
