Hi a few months ago my car was leaking not just leaking the oil was running out any I got it fixed now it was making a noise he told me I needed a gasket I got that then he told me the reason why it was driving funny was because he put the timeing belt on to fast. Now the car is over heating and he told me that it is a scerw that is busted in the radiatoir and the anti-frez is coming out of it this radiator is only 6 months old does this sound right.

No, not really. Everything sounded ok, untill you wrote that he said your car ran bad because he put the tining belt on too fast. What did he mean by this? The belt only goes on one way that I know of. Did he not pt the cover on right. Did he resolve that issue? By the radiator, not many have that screw to release the coolant. Are you loosing coolant? That should be an easy fix if it is just the drain plug. Donate for a pros help
