Just curious on how much Honda or a mechanic will charge to replace the
power steering & the alternator belts in the car??

What year and make of Honda?

On my old 1991 Civic, it's so easy to change these belts and
set their tension that I would think labor would be under
$100 (preferably well under) and parts, around $50.

Labor is going to be considerably different depending on where you live.
Labor in California is about $120 an hour, I Podunk it is $40 an hour. So
call your local mechanic and ask him or her if you want a reliable answer.
Telephone calls are cheap.......

Well shoah. But it also varies so much from Pep Boys to
dealer to import car independent shop that I just wanted to
get the OP into the ballpark. :-)
