In general, granted I am learning this platform, when you do something like a timing belt you want to hit all the components that you can while the belt is off to be on the safe side; oil pump & seal/gasket, water pump & seal/gasket, timing belt tensioner, idler pullies, cam seals, and any other gaskets/seals that are easy to access. Definitely call your local dealer or the site sponsor as well as reading a bit more on here before you tackle a project like that. $550 sounds about right for a job like that to be honest. I would need to see what the cost on parts is and standard job time, but that sounds pretty close for such an important service.
