Timing Belt Replacement Service

Why Is it Important to Replace My Timing Belt?

The timing belt, also known as the cambelt or timing chain, is an essential component in a vehicle engine. When working correctly, the timing belt keeps the rotation of the crankshaft synchronized within the engine. In layman's terms, it keeps the valves and the pistons in your engine working together in sync.

As it is a moving part, the timing belt is prone to wear and tear, so you should get it inspected at the intervals recommended in your owner's manual. You should also know that timing belts do not fail gradually; instead, they generally break suddenly and can cause a myriad of engine damage. It is much less expensive to keep up with manufacturer-recommended timing belt replacements than being forced to deal with an emergency.

Only Quality OEM Automotive Parts

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts are the only parts that our technicians use in replacements or repairs. While aftermarket parts are often less expensive, only OEM parts were designed to fit and function within your specific vehicle. The manufacture of aftermarket parts is not as heavily regulated and scrutinized as that of OEM parts, meaning that without using OEM parts, there is no way to know the real quality of the part. OEM parts are also often under warranty, for added peace of mind. Not only do we utilize only quality OEM parts, but we also make sure that we complete all of our repairs efficiently and professionally.

Catching a timing belt problem early can save you from severe engine damage and massive repair costs later. If it has been a while since you have had your timing belt inspected, please give us a call or bring it down to Vandergriff Hyundai.
