How often should I change my Toyota Corolla's timing belt?

I recently bought a Toyota Corolla and I'm not sure how often I should have the timing belt checked or replaced. I don't want to risk any engine damage, but I also don't want to unnecessarily spend money on unnecessary maintenance. Can you provide some guidance on this?

It is recommended to have your timing belt checked every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and the specific model of your Toyota Corolla. However, it is always best to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the most accurate recommendation.

If your Toyota Corolla is showing signs of wear and tear, such as a high-pitched whining noise or engine misfires, it could be a sign that your timing belt needs to be replaced. It's best to have it checked by a certified mechanic to avoid any engine damage.

I personally suggest getting your timing belt checked every 80,000 miles. It's better to be safe than sorry, and replacing the timing belt before it breaks can save you from expensive repairs in the long run.
