Growling Engine?? Help.
Just to warn y'all, I'm new here and I don't know a whole ton about the technical stuff - hence why I'm here. I have a '96 classic.
I've run into a problem. Had a radiator flush in the last month - fine. Oil change on wednesday - fine.
Friday I drove 200 miles on a balmy day to school and when I arrived, my engine was making this godawful throaty, grumbling noise that only got louder when I'd accelerate. On top of that, the serpentine belt(?) was squeaking a bit, too, typically when idling.
I dropped her off at a mechanic today and I'm seriously worried the guy's gonna try and screw me over.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Trust him? No. I've never been to this shop before. It's been in there five hours and they haven't called to tell me they even looked at it yet.
