Ridiculously easy.

They're either stupid (bad) or thieves (worse). There are only 2 belts  for
non-AC.

My wife used to take her truck to Firestone, till they sold her three
timing belt replacements in a 2 year span at the same service center.
Crooks. They're not necessarily all bad at all Firestone places, but I
don't think I'd trust them for anything except maybe tires.
