so a little background info...
i bought a gatorback belt and had a shop put it on back in september. it was rubbing against the tensioner and ended up fraying so i took it to another shop and had them put another gatorback on, along with a new tensioner as suggested by the mechanic. (i trust this shop from previous experiences so i agreed).
this was in january.
skip to now. i get out of work and start my car, immediately hearing a flapping noise. i knew it had something to do with the belt, so i popped the hood and looked. didn't see anything unusual, but there was a LOUD flapping noise.
i thought, ok, lets try to make it home. nope. pull out of the driveway and hear a loud noise (belt ripping apart), so i pull back off the road to check and the belt is destroyed. the only thing i can really see is it looked like it skipped a tooth on the crank pulley.
so. with all that said, what could be going wrong? is the crank pulley out of alignment?
also, if it is, will the shop still pay to replace the belt/towing fee, since they were the ones to put it on?
as much as i love it, this car is a freaking headache
