Also, if you have the finances at this time, I suggest you contact a lawyer and ask for a 30 minute consult to discuss this case as well as... View More

You are asking an online attorney to give you legal advice for someone else's benefit. That's the unauthorized practice of law, were someone on here to do that. I recommend that your friend retain an attorney.
I need help filing a claim with AIG Insurance. I've the forms in hand. It's been an overwhelming experience that's terribly affected my life, by stealing my identity and so much more.

What kind of belt is it that it needs? Is the vehicle an old model? There does not seem like a valid reason for your vehicle to be in the shop for 9 months. Is there any more information you can share that will help provide an answer to your question.
