Just been to my local Chevy dealer and they quoted me $82.76 just to buy the one belt and $83.00 for the other one! That's $165 for both belts with me fitting them myself!

Are they kidding?

Local O'Reilly have the Gates 6-rib Micro-V Serpentine belts for $31.99.

I guess you know where I will be buying from and it won't be Chevy.

BTW, you should start your own thread in the future. This one is really old...
Anyone know if I can run the car without the ac belt. I never use the ac at all and I do mean at all, that's why I got a vert. Just want to know if it's safe to cut it out and run the car

He was doing them for free back in 2008. Quite the guy if he is still doing them today.
