Year and engine model would help - vast majority of Camry's are belt driven NOT chain. 22RE would be $800-1000! Belt is $199-250.
what is a 22 re

Engine model code for the 4 cylinder with timing chain used years ago.
Hard to say actually. Head damage is possible and then you're talking at least $1000 dollars. If the chain is merely worn and slipped a tooth, a new one can be threaded in place assuming the sprockets are still in good shape. That process should only take an hour or so.
But what car/engine are you talking about? A Camry new enough to have a timing chain shouldn't be having problems.
Do you have a Corolla? Most Toyotas use rubber belts and can range from about $150-270 for 4 or 6 cylinders.
Dealers get you in using a coupon and you can't get out usually for less than $1000 after changing the water pump, idler pulleys, oil seals and all belts. So ask for a "package price" before "handing over your wallet."
