At first I bought a replacement belt from one of the dealerships around town, but when I got home I found that the rubber on the belt is hard and feels cheap. I wasn't sure about the product so I sent it back and ordered this belt. When it arrived I was pleased to find that it looked and felt like the original belt. 10 minutes later he was in my car. It fits and works perfectly. The original belt had 125,000 miles on it and looks like it could go another 125,000 miles but I just replaced it as part of a scheduled service. I hope this belt will last just as long.
