i just got my belts changed 2 days ago and now i'm hearing a squeaking sound from under the hood..it only happens when i'm idling or stopped at a light..once i hit the gas its quiet..do the belts have to be "broken in" or should i bring it back to the shop?..

But not too tight, might wear the idler bearing, which is what I think is up with mines. Its so annoying I feel for you. Maybe you can also have the check them bearing on the pulley between the a/c and p/s pulley.
