When to Have a Car Belt Replacement

When it comes to getting a car belt replacement done to your vehicle, this varies by belt type. First, you have the timing belt/chain, which needs to be replaced every 100,000 miles or so. Next, the serpentine belt is expected to last around 90,000 miles, so it will likely need to be replaced a bit earlier than the timing one. Regardless, you want a professional to inspect both belts every year to make sure they are working as intended, and to see if any damage is present. It is far easier to catch a belt problem while it’s small to avoid needing a full replacement, although our ASE-certified technicians are here for either result. Your engine relies on the belts inside your car to exert the correct amount of energy, as do systems like your A/C, alternator, and steering pump. The timing belt directly impacts the engine as its duties are to harmonize crankshaft and camshaft rotation. When it fails, you will see issues with your engine, ranging from starting errors to total power loss. Don’t skip out on car belt replacement, call our team today.
