If you aren't sure which way the belt goes just have the writing facing you if it has any.

 

Its already there at the shop, I'm just going to let them do it. Hopefully it will be another 3000 miles before it has to be done again so maybe that's the last time it will have to go back for a long time. Other than fluid changes, hopefully it won't require much maintence for a long time. I assume whoever did it put it on wrong or perhaps used a cheap or incorrect belt. If it was indeed a new belt, something had to be done wrong. Even the cheap belts don't break that fast.
