You sure your belts just aren't going bad?

I would be surprised. If a entire system (whatever that really means) had to be replaced.
For belts or any other oem parts- new source. Calling the is easier until they can hammer outdone navigation issues on the website.

The belt needs to be replaced too but the mechanic said the main problem came from the idler

Try your belts first like most everyone has suggested, it will save some $$.

Some mechanics aren't familiar enough with these cars to know it's only a loose &/or old belt.

Just have to loosen the idler pully to get slack in the belts, pay attention to how they are routed then reinstall. Tighten the idler pullies and off you go. I would check the FSM to be sure.
