Yes it can cause major problems. If the vehicle was running when the belt broke then I can almost guarantee that you will have at least a couple bent Valves which means the head has to come off, That's another 800-1000 dollars. If the vehicle wasnt running then you might be lucky enough that it didnt do any damage when you tried to start it. Until the shop puts a new belt on it you wont know for sure.
