So tonight me and my mom decided to drive to DQ in my car and we made it about a mile from my house and the car started makeing a noise and the pedals started shakeing. The noise was like a sound a car makes when you drive over a newly paved road with wet tar except the noise was comeing from my engine. This is probably the 10th time Ive ever driven the car and about 5 of those times was in parking lot learning to drive a stick. The car just had 2,500 worth of work done. Ive only had it for about 2 months

Wait - they did all the work you described earlier and then charged you to fix their mistakes? If they didn't change the belts cause you opted not to that's your fault but if they changed the belts and installed them too tightly that's their fault. Who changes the timing belt, water pump etc and doesn't change the drive belts? Something sounds fishy.
I hate when mechanics take advantage of people who don't know engines/cars.
