SERVICE OVERVIEW

TIMING BELT

The timing belt is a notched rubber belt that allows the crankshaft to turn the camshaft.
If you’re timing belt breaks, your engine will stop working and typically will cause major engine damage. That’s why it’s important to have your timing belt replaced at the manufacturers recommended interval or mileage.

SERPENTINE BELTS

Serpentine belts, also known as drive belts, provide power to the air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, cooling fan, air injection pump, and more.
If your vehicle’s serpentine belt breaks, all of the engine parts it is powering will stop working and your engine could overheat and be damaged.

That’s why it’s important to have your belts replaced according to the manufacturers recommended interval or mileage.

HOSES

Coolant hoses include the upper and lower radiator hoses plus heater hoses. Some cars include a bypass hose. Hoses give a flexible connection for coolant flow between the engine, radiator, engine and heating block.
Tiny cracks can form from the inside that can eventually lead to a burst hose and overheated engine. Have your vehicle hoses and accompanying clamps inspected.
