How many belts are in a car?
My mechanic said something about a serpentine belt but I’ve only heard of a drive belt. How many belts are in a car?

How many belts are in a car depends on make and model but most cars have between one and three belts.
The serpentine belt is the most common in modern cars. It’s also known as the drive belt or accessory belt. Some vehicles also have a timing belt, and others have a V-belt.
The most important of these is the serpentine belt. If your mechanic has spotted a problem with the serpentine belt, book the repair as soon as possible! Replacing the serpentine belt will cost about $50 in parts, plus whatever hourly charges the mechanic levies on the final
bill
