Yeah they are hard to check too. If they don’t have documentation that they were changed don’t trust it. Typically the tensioner breaks before the belt does, so you can’t tell by looking at the belt. Other issues are if the bearing in the idler pulley fails, or the waterpump fails, there goes the Tbelt.
