WHEN DOES KIA RECOMMEND TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT

my rio and spectra are recomended at 75k a (as per the kia shop) and if you take them in to a kia shop they put a fear into you that the belt are going to break any minute.ive been meaning to look in the owners manuel my self but i have looked at the blue book value of both my 03 rio andmy 04 spectra $500 and $800 in fair conditon . i think im not going to worry about it the belt and my time to put it on will be worth more then the both of them together .with 100% certainty i did find were it says to inspect every 30,000miles and replace if neccary
