Timing Belt/Chain Replacement
Your vehicle comes to an immediate stop. But there is more. The good news is you will need to be towed to a repair shop to replace the belt. The bad news is your engine may have suffered major internal damage. This can result in more than just timing belt replacement. You may need a new engine!

General Repairs
We understand that auto repair is very expensive on today’s cars. Maintenance will help extend the longevity of your vehicle, improve gas mileage, prevent breakdowns and major unexpected auto repairs.
Towing Service
Auto Maintenance
If your vehicle’s engine is a 4- or 6-cylinder, chances are it has a timing belt. Some import V-8s have them too. You can check your owner’s manual scheduled maintenance section. Timing belts need to be changed at a scheduled service interval. Intervals range anywhere from 60,000 miles up to 105,000 depending on the vehicle year, make, model and engine type. Timing belts should also be changed based on time. Honda, for example, recommends changing some of their belts after 72 months regardless of mileage.
Belts and Hoses Service
Vehicles may last longer, but belts and hoses may not. Our Winter Get Ready inspection includes a thorough inspection of belts and hoses. Most hoses degrade today from the inside out. You may not see the hose failing until it is too late. Serpentine belts are common today BUT this is usually a one belt, drives all system. A complete inspection & condition analysis for both of these key areas is vitally important.
