Hi, i had gone to my mechanic. My car was shaking and whistling noises where coming from the car. They said there was a tear in the drive belt they replaced it but i had to take it back because they obviously put in the wrong belt. They replaced it again and it is obviously the wrong belt again. I am going back tomorrow. I need to know what belt i need to put in the car. I need to know what make and size because i see that they are not putting in the right belt. I hope what they did does not ruin my car.

I'd be very surprised if they installed the wrong belt twice.
I don't think they installed the wrong belt; your problem is probably not the belt; i don't think a torn belt would make your car shake (although I could be wrong). I'd be asking your mechanic to check your tires, axles, cv joints, struts, etc
You may want to have your car inspected by a different mechanic.
