If I have to hear ONE MORE TIME that my friggin' serpentine belt is cracked, and should be replaced I'm going to blow. 9/10 times I have an oil change the shop calls to tell me 'they have a few concerns'. In my 1st car, a '91 escort (I miss her badly) from the first to the last right before I traded her in I heard this line. I had that car for 10 YEARS, and never touched the damn belt. Per my dad, it was fine. So, the car I traded it in for 2 yrs ago was a 2000 taurus. (love it) Guess what? From the very first OC to today, same thing. Firestone today, with a quote for $100 to change my cracked serpentine belt. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Both Firestone and Goodyear places regularly do this to me.

The only place that doesn't tell me the belt needs changing is the actual Ford dealer 35min away that I occasioally go to because they throw in a free car wash with your oil change.
