Timing Belt Replacement Service

Why Is It Important to Replace My Timing Belt?

The timing belt in your vehicle should be inspected routinely to ensure it’s working correctly. This may seem like a minor part, but your timing belt is necessary for your engine to work properly. If you were to let this part wear down and eventually break, you could be faced with a catastrophic situation. On average, your timing belt should be replaced once every 50,000 to 70,000 miles. This time frame will vary based on the frequency you use your vehicle and the make and model. Always check your owner’s manual to see what is recommended for your specific vehicle.

There are also some warning signs to look out for if you think your vehicle may require a new timing belt. You may begin to notice fumes that come from your engine upon starting. Issues with your engine turning over can also signal a potential timing belt problem.

These original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are designed specifically for your make and model and are made from higher quality materials than most aftermarket parts. In addition, most OEM parts come with a warranty and often tend to last longer in general.
