Squeaking noise at start up

OK, thank you guys in the past for the help and advice. I recently changed my timing belt at the dealer because I noticed my 2007 Acura TL (non-type S) started squeaking when I would start the car on rainy or humid days.

They also changed some bushings and other issues.

We have had some rain here in NY over the last few days and the noise returned.

I am not sure if it was the timing belt or maybe something else.

I want to take my car back to Acura but I am worried if they find other stuff wrong with my car and try to squeeze and extra $600-$1000 outta my wallet (those jerks!)

My car has 87k miles and I had changed the timing belt about 1 month ago.

Any help is greatly appreciated

The timing belt??? I imagine you mean the drive belt?

Most of the time when it's squeaking when humid that's what it is. Either the belt needs to be changed, the auto tensioner needs to be changed or one of the pulleys is slightly out of alignment.
