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

When I brought the car in the first time it was to have the antenna fixed, but when he looked under the hood he said all the stuff I listed a few comments up needed to be replaced, so my mom told him to go ahead and fix it. He never mentioned anything about any belts (other than a timing belt). When I got the car back, my uncle looked at it and said that those things did need to be replaced.Then it broke down. When my mom talked to the mechanic yesterday he did say sorry he didnt catch the problem the first time but that was it. I wish I knew more about cars so I could work on it myself.
