Default About time to replace the timing belt

There is no way that I am going to change it myself because it just seems way to hard for my mechanical skills. So my question is what else should be replaced when I have the belt change. I already know that I want the engine mount replaced because of the horrible vibrations in the car.

I hate to sound like an idiot and ask another question but what is the difference between the timing belt tensioner and the accessory belt tensioner pulley. (yes I am that much of a newbie)

To keep it simple: the timing belt tensioner keeps tension on the timing belt. Accessory belt tensioner keeps tension on the accessory belts (the belts that run the alternator, power steering pump, A/C, etc).
