Timing Belt Replacement

Our team have replaced thousands of timing belts on vehicles of all makes and models.

We know how crucial a properly functioning timing belt is to your engine’s performance and longevity. One small issue can lead to major damage — that’s why so many drivers trust us to get it right the first time.

What is a Timing Belt?

Your car’s timing belt is a vital engine component that keeps everything running in perfect sync. It controls the timing of the engine’s internal components — specifically making sure the camshaft and crankshaft rotate in harmony, so that the engine’s valves open and close at the right times during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes.
Over time, the timing belt wears out and can become cracked, stretched, or even snap — which can cause serious engine damage. Most manufacturers recommend replacing it at specific mileage or time intervals (often between 60,000–100,000 miles), depending on your vehicle.
At PW Auto Repairs, we use quality parts and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when carrying out timing belt replacements. If your car is due a timing belt change, don’t delay — it’s one of the most important preventative maintenance jobs you can do.

Timing Belt, Cambelt, Toothed Belt – What’s the Difference?

These terms all refer to the same component — the timing belt. It’s also commonly called a cambelt (short for “camshaft belt”) or a toothed belt because of its ridged design. No matter the name, they all do the same job: keeping your engine's moving parts in sync.
A timing chain, on the other hand, does the same job but is made of metal and runs inside the engine, much like a bicycle chain. Timing chains typically last longer than belts, but they can still wear out and need maintenance over time.
If you’re unsure which your car has, just give us a call — we’ll be happy to check for you.
