How many belts are in my Honda?
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

One belt runs the alternator and AC, the other belt runs the power steering.
If you need those belts, you probably should consider the timing belt may be just as old. The replacement interval is 7 years/100k miles, whichever comes first.

Ah ok, so it is the same belt. I had the timing belt replaced a couple months ago actually so I'm good to go on that, thanks! Are the serpentine belts hard to replace? Just beginning DIY car work.

Maybe you should open the hood and inspect the condition of your belts first? Count the number of visible belts? (note how different they are)
Check your receipts to see if they were included with the previous job?
If they squeal now, maybe the shop didn't get them adjusted tight enough during the other work.

It's pretty easy. Remove random bracketry that'll get in the way (like.. 2 brackets/plates total). Loosen tensioning fasteners bolt for PS, wing bolt for AC/Alt. Install in reverse of removal. I forgot what the spec on tightening is though. I think something like 1/2" belt deflection?
