I have a 1995 Geo Prizm and recently has all three belts replaced by my mechanic for 100 dollars. Now whenever i make turns pull into out of parking spots my car makes a terrible squealing noise. I have noticed it to get worse when my subwoofers are on. My mechanic "uncle" says the belts are as tight as they can be and that i have to live with it. My problem is that its very embarassing to be stared at when ever i pull in and out of parking spots

He either put the wrong belts on or got some contamination on them (grease,oil).
I would replace them with Toyota belts and clean the pulleys with brake clean.
