New belts after 200000km service squealing

HI, I just bought a 1996 Ek civic, put it in for it's 200,000 km service which did the timing, power steering and alternator belts. After driving it a day, I went to start it up the next and I'm getting a really loud squeal from the engine. This also seems to occur during some downshifts.

I then used wd40 on the belts to see if that would remedy it but it only worked for the next maybe 2 starts, then went back to squealing it's heart out.

I'd just like to know if anyone knows how I can fix this. I think maybe it was incorrect tensioning of the belts, but I have very limited knowledge.

Thanks,
Mack

Yup somethings not right. Take it back to them and have it fixed. And please dont put wd40 on your belts again.
