Timing Belt Replacement

Timing Belt Replacement is a critical maintenance service that involves removing the old timing belt from the engine and installing a new one.

‍

The timing belt is a rubber belt with teeth that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft, ensuring the engine's valves open and close at the correct times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. This service is essential for the smooth running of your vehicle's engine and to prevent potentially severe engine damage.

At Gateway Auto - Service & Collision Center, we specialize in timing belt replacement, using high-quality belts and ensuring precise alignment and tensioning for optimal engine performance.

Timing Belt Replacement is typically needed as a preventive maintenance measure, often at specific mileage intervals as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, sometimes between 80,000 and 100,000 miles.

‍

It's also necessary if the timing belt shows signs of wear, such as cracks, fraying, or if you hear unusual noises from the engine area. Replacing the timing belt proactively is crucial, as a snapped belt can lead to severe engine damage, often requiring costly repairs.
