Engine Timing Belt Replacement
Most imported and some domestic vehicles have a timing belt that keeps the engine internal mechanical components in sync. Interference engines usually sustain damage if synchronization is lost. If the timing belt fails, the valves will get in the way of the piston. This results in very expensive engine repairs!
Replacing the timing belt should be done by either time or mileage, whichever comes first. The average timing belt is required to be changed every 60,000 miles. While there is always a little leeway and some debate as to when a timing belt should be replaced, we highly recommend following the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for when to carry out this service. If you don't know if your vehicle has a timing belt or when your car's timing belt should be replaced, please call us with your vehicle's information and we will let you know.
