Default Serpentine Belt

So the other day i was showing my boss my car, and he noticed that my serpentine belt was looking a bit worn. So saturday I went to get my oil changed at my mechanic, and I mentioned it to them. I asked them to give me a quote about how much something that like would cost me! So the mechanic told me that when doing that, its smart to get your Timing Belt, Tension, Water Pump, & Coolant done at the same time and that my car did need to have that done! So they gave me a quote:

for the TB, tensioner, water pump, serpentine belt, and coolant they said something around $830.00. I'm just wondering if that seems like a legit, fair price? My car is a 99 VW New Golf and is at just about 90K miles.

Thanks, guys.

Really? Everyone I've spoken to has said that if it was just the serpentine belt, then 100-150 would be good, but with getting a timing belt, tensions, serpentine, water pump, coolant and labor that 800-900 is pretty fair. I'm pretty sure its a 2.0
