Serpentine Belts?
Does anyone know anything about serpentine belts? I recently went in for an oil change to a new garage and they said I need to replace 3 serpentine belts. I didn't have time so I said I'd come back later. I talked to a friend and they said that cars only have one serpentine belt. Is the garage trying to rip me off?

Re: Serpentine Belts?
they may have meant accessory belts. alot of cars like civic have the timing belt, then several other belts for power steering, a/c, and alternator.

The guy at the shop and your friend are both mixed up. Your car has accessory belts which there is more than one. A car that has a Serpentine belt, use one belt to drive everything.
