Timing Belt Replacement

5 Star Auto Garage & Mobile, The Mobile Mechanics, offers convenient timing belt checks and replacements at your home or workplace. The timing belt plays a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of your car’s camshaft and crankshaft, ensuring optimal engine efficiency. Made of high-quality rubber with nylon-reinforced cords, the timing belt is housed under a timing cover and requires regular replacement due to wear and tear. Failure to replace a worn timing belt can result in sudden vehicle shutdown and irreversible engine damage. While not all engines have a timing belt, it is commonly found in cars and SUVs with smaller displacement engines. Larger bore and stroke engines often utilize a timing chain system, known for its longer lifespan compared to timing belts.
