TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT SERVICE

Why Is It Important to Replace My Timing Belt?

Timing belts should be inspected regularly and replaced when they show age and wear. When a timing belt breaks, this can lead to irreversible damage to your engine so replacing an old and worn belt before it breaks is the best preventive measure you can take. The average lifespan of a timing belt is usually around 50,000 to 70,000 miles. However, extreme climates often lead to premature wear which requires timing belts to be replaced more often. Be sure to check your owner's manual for the recommended interval for your vehicle.

There are certain signs to watch out for if you think that your timing belt might need to be replaced soon. When you start your engine, potent fumes coming out of the engine compartment could be caused by timing belt problems. You may also notice that your engine is having trouble turning over when you start it. However, the only way to know for sure is to have it inspected by a trained professional.

We source timing belts and other replacement parts from the manufacturer of your vehicle. We install original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts because third-party aftermarket parts can end up causing problems due to inferior design and construction. We want to make sure that the fit and installation is completed right the first time. Warranties provided with most OEM parts also provide added peace of mind.
