There is a "squealing" noise when the car is started, noise goes away while driving but is there the next time it is started-any suggestions?

Have your serpentine belt checked, if you are noticing no other problems, it is probably to tight.

Have the tensioner inspected. Has the belt ever been repalced? They auto-tension so if the tensioner is worn it wont hold tight enough
