Belt Replacement Costs..

I am guessing i need a new belt since everytime i drive through a big puddle it squeals and when i start her up in the cold it kinda feels like the belt is being strained if you know what i mean. Shop on the corner said something like $220, stealership #1 said $150 and courtesy nissan told me today $120 for both belts. Has anyone gotten a better price? I cannot do it on my own...

120 including the belts is a good deal ! They are charging you only a hour worth of work it looks like. I would see if you can throw in a underdrive pulley on it, shouldn't cost more than like 50 bux more to have it installed. Since you are doing belts already I would just do the pulley too I read the topic before clicking on it and was going to suggest that a hour is MAX I would ever charge for a job like this- it takes literally like 20 min to do it.

I've paid 50 bucks for the alternator belt, so 2 belts should be around 100-120 and is not that long of a job

Belt Included...
