Did you get robbed - in a fashion I'd say so, but what other options did you have, breaking down away from home is painfull and even if you are a DIY replacing the serp belt on the roadside would take some doing. So it's fixed and you had to bite the expensive bullet.
At 120k I just replaced the serp belt and this time decide to do all the pulleys - I think the belt and three pulleys came to around $ 150 dollars, I debated doing the center and tensioner pulley as they seemed ok, but I do have better peace of mind now . Kind of a tricky job but not too painful.
I think others will chime in with lower costs opinions on the repair, but it's all ancient history now. Keep an eye on the pulleys though if you've not replaced them - and do you know why the serp belt failed ?
