🔧 What’s Included in a Complete Timing Belt Service?
🏁 Timing Belt
The star of the show — responsible for keeping your engine’s valves and pistons in perfect sync.
🛞 Tensioners & Idler Pulleys
These maintain the right tension and routing. If they fail, your new belt is worthless. That’s why we replace them at the same time — no exceptions.
💧 Water Pump Replacement
On most engines, the water pump is driven by the timing belt. If it fails, you have to tear everything back apart. Replacing it now saves you thousands later.
🌡️ Coolant Flush
Since we’re replacing the water pump, we flush and refill your cooling system with fresh coolant — ensuring proper protection and helping extend the life of your radiator, heater core, and other cooling components.
🚨 Why It Matters
A failed timing belt can bend valves, crack pistons, or even total your engine. Manufacturers recommend timing belt replacement between 60,000–100,000 miles depending on your vehicle. Skipping it is risky — and expensive.
Doing it all at once isn’t just good practice — it’s smart. Labor overlaps, so bundling the parts and service into one appointment saves you money, time, and future headaches.
