Timing Belt Service
The timing belt is a key part of your car’s engine and although it can be costly, is it crucial to address it as soon as a problem is detected. It is a critical component in keeping your car running efficiently and not replacing it when required can cause further damage or ruin your engine completely.
Timing belt replacements are carried out at regular intervals as per manufacturer recommendations. You can find out when your belt needs to be replaced by checking your owners-manual or during a regular car service.
If your belt isn’t due to be changed, but you notice any of the following, it may be a sign you need a replacement sooner rather than later, and you should get it checked by a mechanic:
- Knocking sound in your engine
- Low oil pressure
- Overheating
- Rough idling
- Engine shuts off or won’t crank
Our experienced technicians are able to help you with the supply, fitting and installation of your new timing belt, keeping your car running smoothly and helping you avoid further issues.
Working with brands like Dayco, Aisin, & Gates we guarantee only the highest quality parts for your vehicle.
