Didn't you have a water pump put in recently? Maybe that's defective or installed wrong and throwing your belt - check it's alignment and for any play.
I agree with others - this is a great project to do yourself. Look up the diagram for your car on eEuroparts (I think all this generation 9-3 is the same - but see the link below for the diagram of the Viggen's. http://www.eeuroparts.com/Main/DiagramPopUp.html?http://data.eeuroparts.com/Images/diagrams/lg_4cylng900belts.gif )
I change all three - the belt, idler pulley and tensioner pulley - every 60K because I hate getting stranded. Also inspect that everything else is in alignment and there isn't shaft play on any of the other pulleys (A/C, Power Steering, Alternator, Water Pump.) The only other component is the tensioner itself - but if that had any problem I'm sure PepBoys would have tried to sell you a new one for a few hundred bucks (for my Viggen it's less than $80 from eEuro and that includes the $40 pulley.)
You're a bit far from me here in New Jersey or I'd swing by and walk you thru it 8) - maybe someone else in your area can help.
