But as far as telling whether your timing belt is still good or not, just do a visual inspection on your own. Just look out for any signs of wear or tear, take the valve cover off. Then by slowing turning your crankshaft bolt, do a visual inspection. Also check the tension, the belt shouldn't have much of a gap of tension when pressing on it.

You can push up to 100k if you feel the car is up to doing it. However, if I were you, I do my timing and all maintenance work just to be safe and peace of mind. Another thing you mentioned, "he seemed to do all maintenance." If he has provide the paper work when they were done and its recent, then you can leave it as is to save yourself the trouble to spend money.
