Another comment,
Replacing the AC belt was really easy. I don't understand all the angst I've read about how hard it is. In my view, the key is in making sure the belt is seated into the grooves on both pulleys.
Honestly, it took me about ten minutes to put both belts back on...

I'd have it towed to A&A, just in case it's something internal

Good idea. Screeching sounds give me the ******* just thinking it. Very possible something is self-destructing.

Of course the car didn't make any noise when I got there, so they said it's fine. I'll need to leave it there so they can have a drive while it's cold...

damaged main bearings, rod bearings, and cam journals can make some pretty horrible screeching sounds. Let's hope it's nothing internal. Did you check for any particulate matter in the oil?

Exactly, that why I'm taking it to a different shop on Monday. I want a real look, and that includes oil check.

I think a & A is more into making good motors crazy good and tuned, not so much in looking for a problem.
