Belt squealing at start up and when cold.

What is your question?

Hi, I have a squealing noise from one of my belts when I start the car and when it is cold out (it seems). **The belts are almost new, replaced August 2017. *It is NOT the Timing Belt, new too. Any ideas, lube or quick fix??? A friend, who is a former mechanic drove with me yesterday and said to: "Use soap and lube the belt"??

Hello, Never do that. Lubing the belt with soap would make it slip more. Your belts may have stretched some and need to be tightened. I encourage you to go to the person that changed them and complain.
