Had serp belt replaced by indie saab mechanic at time of tune-up b/c it had minor cracking. 5 days later belt frayed and disintegrated on freeway - seized engine - destroyed pulleys. Pulleys/tensioners had 25k miles on them since last replacement.
Mechanic blamed lower pulley wobble - denied they should've spotted a lower pully problem when installing new belt, so I had to eat repair. $600 to replace belt, tensioner, and idler pulley- said main pulley was ok. 5 days later belt again disintegrates on freeway! Not sure how badly it chewed up pulleys, but smelled lots of melting plastic.
I'm getting it towed back to same place today to demand warranty repair. Any theories as to what happened? I think they should fix it for free and refund my the $600 from last job as well!
