Timing Belt Replacement is Recommended Every 60-90K!

Your timing belt is what connects your crankshaft to your camshaft, which controls the opening and closing of your engine’s valves. In some engines your timing belt may also be used to drive other crucial engine components such as the water pump or the oil pump.

Engine Manufacturers recommend replacing your timing belt at specific intervals. These intervals range from every 60,000 to 90,000 miles and depend on the make and model of the car, how it’s driven and how well the vehicle is maintained. Replacement of your timing belt at the intervals is highly recommended because a failure of your timing belt can lead to costly and, in some cases, irreparable damage to your engine.

Most times, there will be no warning signs at all that your timing belt is about to go, but if your car is  experiencing any of these symptoms below it may be time to get your timing belt checked:

• Your car is spewing out more exhaust than usual.
• Trouble starting your engine.
• Chattering and other strange engine noises
• Your car shuts off while driving and spins over quicker than normal when attempting to restart it.
• Screeching noises
