Vickie,
The adjusting bolts are not readily visible. Look for a bolt with a 10mm head. You might need a 10mm socket wrench to turn them. A 17mm and 19 mm socket wrench and box wrench will probably be needed too.
I would inspect the belts before replacing them. Just because some mechanic says you need them doesn't mean you do. He might have a boat payment due and needed an extra $200. Belts should last at least 50,000 miles and maybe 100,000 miles.
Look for cracks on the inside of the belts, the "V" part. If any of the "V" is missing, the belts need to be replaced.
It would be a cold day in hell before I would pay anyone $200 to replace the belts. You should be able to get the belts for about $20 at AutoZone. I can't understand why Napa is so high.
You should be able to replace them in 3 hours max. Where else can you make $60 an hour tax free?
