24 Hour Recovery Service

Timing Belt

SERVICE OVERVIEW

Is it a question that everyone I am sure has heard but not always fully understood, has your timing belt been changed?

Your timing belt is one of the most crucial parts of your engine, ensuring that your crank and camshaft turn in unison, allowing air and fuel in and expelling exhaust gases at exactly the right times. If the belt brakes the engine can’t run.

Timing belt or cambelts as they are also known by are recommended by some manufacture to be changed every 60,000-100,000 miles, others recommend longer intervals. You should get you timing belt checked to ensure it is in good condition and prevent any expensive unexpected costs.

Having you timing belt change can seem like an expensive part of vehicle maintenance but the consequences and cost of not replacing your timing belt at the right time can be far more expensive.

Our highly skilled technicians have changed more timing belts that they would care to imagine so if you would like to check your timing belt or get a quote please contact any of our workshops.
