The timing belt in your engine has the important job of controlling the camshaft, which opens and closes engine valves correctly to make sure the engine runs smoothly. A worn or tearing timing belt can start to cause engine problems, and a snapped belt usually causes complete engine failure. This is why it is so important to have the timing belt inspected regularly to check for any tears or signs of depreciation. A belt that is heavily worn or tearing needs to be replaced quickly to ensure your safety on the road.

Timing belts will wear down over time with regular use of your vehicle. If your belt is beginning to wear down or tear, you may start to notice one or more of the following symptoms:

    Engine failure
    Grinding noises while driving
    Lack of power
    Vibrating while driving
    Vehicle "slipping"

Along with replacing your timing belt, we recommend that your vehicle's water pump is replaced regularly as well. It can do significant damage if it fails later and it is easy to change during a timing belt replacement. Your vehicle's owner's manual will help you determine the service interval for a timing belt service. Feel free to give us a call as well and we will be happy to assist you on the proper timing belt replacement interval for your vehicle.

At Independence Car Service in Mountain View, CA, we stand behind the quality of our work with a 1-year/12,000-mile warranty. We also offer free local shuttle service for customers and discounted rental cars when needed.
