It doesn't have a timing belt to replace. Echo's have a timing chain (one of many great features for this car). The chain has no replacement interval, and should only be replaced if there is a problem (for example if it is making a lot of noise). There are two serpentine belts, one controls Power Steering and air conditioning, the other controls the water pump and alternator. The later one is on top, and is somewhat easy to replace yourself for just a couple of dollars. It can be inspected for wear (excessive cracking), the alternator bolt can be loosened and alternator pushed back (not removed) to change this belt. I don't know the official change interval, but I replaced mine at 150,000 miles but it was still in good condition actually. The other (lower) belt is more difficult to change on your own, and I wouldn't bother replacing it until there is a problem, as power steering and air conditioning are not critical. Never. The Toyota Echo doesn't have a timing belt. It has a timing chain which should last the life of the car.
