In response to the slippage of the serpentine belt, I was working on the front axle of the car, and took the plastic cover off that was behind the wheel. I forgot to replace it, and because the tensioner pulley is pretty low, the tire spin threw water on the pulley, and it causes the belt to slip; check that before sending it to be repaired.

And as per the vibration problem, after market engine mounts/supports drastically reduce the vibration in the car, but I also recommend regular tune ups, and a yearly trans oil change.
