We just took my car in to get completely repaired they fixed a leak in the coolant and 3 belts except the powersteering belt, which they said was in good condition. It drove perfect for 2 or 3 days. Now it is making a sqeeling sound every time it is turned on and makes turns, some times the steering locks and now the engine light has come on. The fluids are all up to maximun and I think its the belt but I want to know for sure before I get it repaired

It sounds like one of the new belts has stretched. As far as the power steering, they may not have tightened it enough. Take it back and explain they are making noise and need to be readjusted. They shouldn't charge you for it.
