That would be a single "serpentine" belt replacement, and yes, it's a good deal to have that done at 86,000 miles.
As for the cost, it's on the very high end of the "normal" range. So not excessive or dishonest, but no bargain. Full Retail.
An independent repair shop in your area could probably do it cheaper than the dealer, and no specialized knowledge is required. However, no harm in going to the dealer if that is convenient for you. It might cost you an extra $50 or so.
