Sounds as if this mechanic is overtightening the belt tension, and it sounds like the timing is way off. It would be best if you get the tools and reset the timing and tension this belt. This *should* solve your problems.
PS: I believe you and I have communicated via email previously. I was talking to another person with a 1980 D24 that kept breaking belts. I still think it is incorrect tension, which is easy to do. Most mechanics do not understand that the belt CANNOT be set too tight or it will break.
