Well if it was stalling and restarting, it probably was not the timing belt (which is a very good thing). If it doesn't restart, then it may be the timing belt. A broken timing belt may cause $$$ damage.

So, it restarts and runs a little and then stalls?

Hopefully, it is just the alternator belt or something not too serious. Let us know.

I think that he wanted you to post a picture of the belt that was ready to break.

Jennifer, remember its a piece of machinery, youll get it back soon running fine.
ive been a mechanic for 30 years and i deal with customers who need their car back the same day constantly.
yet they need 1500 dollars worth of work done.
in auto repair there is a motto called the 3 B's.
i didnt BUILD it, i didnt BUY it, i didnt BREAK it,
believe me, they dont want your car sitting around the shop not fixed.
never make money that way. if you dont hear from them in a few days give them a call and be NICE. irate customers get put on the back burner.
hang in there
