I got quoted $64.40 for belt and labour $90.85. Is this reasonable/about right or should I shop around! only got quoted lasted Friday after work. I took car in for WOF and to check the belt too,as it's squealing noise when driving and when stationary with car idling. I was told it's original belt and since car has done 118kms so will need replacing.

keep shopping around. The belt should be about $40-50 max for an aftermarket job. Sounds like they are charging an hours labour to do the job, I am fairly sure it would be even less than half an hour to replace.

I'm sure the Grandis has the same dual belt arrangement of the other Sirius family engines, usually involves removing the ps/air con belt to get to the alternator belt. Perhaps the parts quote was for both belts! Labour should still be the same amount whether just one or both belts gets replaced.

be aware that some of the after market belts can cause noises. We did one which constantly squealed and made noises and it was over come by fitting a genuine belt. I know of some Mitzy dealers who have had similar problems
