This is a classic sign of a worn belt. As belts get older, they can slip and cause squealing when the engine is started or revved up. If the belt is shiny, it is probably worn out. A new belt and possibly a new tensioner may do the trick.

OK thanks but I change the belt like 6 months ago just got a transmission put in my car so he had to take off the belt so could he have damage the belt while he took it off
