Max makes a high pitched screech on start up

I am pretty sure it is the belts, I just had them changed a little while ago at the infinite dealership (have to have records for warranty.) Also, the starter was replaced about a year ago.

This only occurs when the car is cold, especially in the mornings after it has sat for a while. When I start the car it screeches for a split second then causes no problems, also if the car is warm, like if I have just gotten gas and start the car back up it will make no noise.

The infinite dealership is booked until next week so I thought I would get some opinions, I should probably just check my Hanes manual but would also like some feedback.

Belts. I had mine replaced too and they started squealing soon thereafter. One is probably just loose. Bring it back and they should fix it, or if you think you can you can probably just tighten it up yourself.

Anyone have a link to a write up on belts or how to tighten them?

Make sure you tighten the belt tensioner.
