Tires, Tire Repair and Maintenance in Lynchburg, VA

The timing belt is an essential part to your vehicle's engine and operation. What happens when it breaks? The timing belt is made of rubber, therefore it dry rots and cracks, causing it to become weaker and then eventually breaking. When the belt breaks, your vehicle will stop, causing you to need to be towed to your trusted garage to have the belt replaced. This may sound like an easy fix to get you back on the road; however, some vehicles aren't this simple. The timing belt break could cause catastrophic engine damage such as bent valves in the engine. This can get to be an expensive fix. What do we recommend? We recommend replacing your timing belt at the mileage interval recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. For most people this is typically every 60-95,000 miles or every 6 years. Save yourself a trip on a tow truck and possible engine failure and schedule your timing belt replacement with us! Remember, regular maintenance saves you money in the long run!
