Chain & Timing Belt Replacement

The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine that must be replaced at the manufacturer's recommended distance. Failure to do so puts you in unnecessary risk of complete engine break down and disaster. Turn to us when you are in need of timing belt replacement for an affordable rate.

The lifetime of a timing belt varies with the type, material, and wear. While timing belts should always be replaced at the manufacture specified time, it is safe to assume 30,000 to 50,000 miles is an appropriate measure of its lifetime.

Mechanic Recommendations

Timing belt replacement may have been your only concern coming in. While we will respect your decision, we highly recommend changing the water pump, tensioner, and pulleys that serve the timing belt to avoid further issues. A failure on either component can lead to valve and piston damage and more costly repairs. Choosing to replace these components is only a fraction of the cost it will take to dismantle the engine and replace them later. Rather than charge yourself double, save the cash by taking care of it at the same time.
