Answer
HI Steph,

Depends on how close a garage is for you to drive it over for repairs. That Serpentine belt drives your water pump, alternator, power steering, air condition compressor and smog pump (if equipped). Your car will over heat if driven to long and also will kill the battery. Make sure where ever you take it to inspects all the pulls to find out why the belt broke.
