Is every 24,000 miles correct for replacing serp belt? - Toyota Yaris Forums

A bearing in my water pump went bad, it was making a low rumbling noise, so the dealer replaced the pump and the serpentine belt under warranty. He said the belt was damaged due to the pump and the car has just under 52k miles on it. Not sure if I believe him or if he just wanted to charge Toyota for more work. Either way, 52k miles seems soon, 24 seems doubly soon.

+1 on the "making money out of it" aspect.
