Belts & Hoses

Belts and hoses are the primary moving parts of your vehicle’s engine. While they are small components, they are essential to the engine's movement, and if they fail, the entire engine could stop.

One of the major belts within your vehicle’s engine is the timing belt, which is part of the valve component. Typically, timing belts last between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, but this can vary depending on the vehicle. If the timing belt breaks while the engine is running, it can cause costly damage, so it is crucial to replace it before it fails.

Serpentine belts are vital to your vehicle’s electrical system. These belts are exposed to high levels of heat, which can cause them to develop cracks over time and eventually break. If your vehicle’s serpentine belt breaks, steering may become difficult, and the engine could overheat. Regular inspections are key to preventing this issue.

Coolant hoses are flexible hoses that run between the radiator and the engine. They transport coolant to regulate the engine's temperature and prevent overheating. If the coolant hoses collapse or deteriorate, they must be replaced to ensure the engine does not overheat.
