Good work!

That's a crazy quote from the shop.

That’s an obscenely high labour quote, and obscenely high belt costs

Kind of makes sense. They doubled their cost of materials, and set an “internal minimum” for labor. What I'm saying is, they just wanted to bend you over for bothering them with a small job.

You might want one (and one for serpentine belts ).  They’re cheap.
