    This is my wife’s Scion xB. I recently had the coils and spark plugs replaced.

    Her engine has been squealing on start up. I’m thinking it is the alternator belt. Pretty sure it’s factory.

    I replace serpentine belts at least every 100k miles. They typically last longer, but time and heat can degrade them too.
