My experience with timing belts in general has been to have them replaced after 75,000 miles. I've had one break on a 1971 Pinto which luckily didn't cause any valve damage, but did require it to be towed home. I had the belt replaced on my '96 Prism LSI by a mechanic - It hasn't run right since, so make sure it's done by someone who knows what they are doing. That doesn't necessarily mean a Chevrolet dealer, either. Have had some expensive and poorly done work by my local dealer.
AnswerIt says in manufacturer's advice online page that there is no recommended interval at which one needs to change the geo prizm or related corolla timing belt. AnswerThe recommended interval is 60k miles. I waited until 85k on my first one but I am going to change again since I am at 150k. The 4AFE (1.6L) and 7AFE (1.8L) engines are non-interference so you won't damage the valves if it breaks but you will get stuck with a tow.
