Automotive Tips from East Coast Automotive Services: Knowing When Your Timing Belt Should Be Replaced

Posted January 17, 2021 10:57 AM

The timing belt in your engine controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. Jupiter drivers need to replace it on a schedule to avoid failure.

Timing belts are very difficult to get to, requiring quite a bit of labor to access. Timing belt replacement is one of the more expensive maintenance services, but the cost at East Coast Automotive Services to correct an engine damaged by a broken timing belt is much, much more.

The timing belt has a tensioner to help maintain proper belt tension. The tensioner should be replaced along with the timing belt and any idler pulleys at the vehicle manufacturer’s specified service interval. Your East Coast Automotive Services service advisor can help you with the timing belt.

Give us a call.

Automotive service and customer care done, right! I drive a 2013 and a 2007 automobiles. The vehicles have approximately 150,000 and 135,000 miles on them respectively. East Coast Automotive has done an excellent job of keeping the cars maintained and roadworthy. There have been the usual items that have needed service/repair typical to cars with as many miles as they have on them. With the cost of new automobiles as high as it is these days, I have complete faith in East Coast Automotive helping me keep both vehicles on the road for as long as possible. If you’re looking for a good automotive repair center that you can rely on try East Coast Automotive.
