Timing Belt

If your vehicle has over 60,000 miles on it, you may be due – or overdue – for timing belt replacement. This is a particularly important part of your vehicle’s scheduled maintenance to remain on top of, because letting this one slide can lead to very expensive engine damage. Your timing belt choreographs your engine’s combustion process. If it breaks, the pistons immediately begin slapping against the open valves, severely damaging the engine.

For many engines, scheduled replacement of the timing belt coincides with recommended maintenance of other related or otherwise hard-to-reach components such as the water pump. Your tech will recommend what scheduled maintenance work can be synched up for the most efficient schedule.

Timing belts have factory-recommended intervals for replacement. It is critical to follow this scheduled interval. If your car has over 60,000 miles and you don’t know if its timing belt has been replaced, schedule an appointment with us today! We are happy to inspect it and make recommendations.
