Timing Belts and Chains
in Longwood, FL

The Importance of Replacing Your Timing Belt or Chain

Your vehicle’s timing system controls the precise movement of your engine’s valves and pistons. Over time, timing belts wear down, become brittle, and can snap, leading to catastrophic engine failure. Vehicles with timing chains are generally more durable, but they can stretch or fail over time due to poor lubrication or excessive mileage. Ignoring the recommended replacement intervals can result in severe damage, leaving you with a costly engine repair or even the need for a full engine replacement.

At Marcos Auto Service, we recommend replacing timing belts every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on your vehicle’s manufacturer guidelines. If you have a timing chain, it’s crucial to have it inspected regularly for signs of wear or looseness. Symptoms of a failing timing belt or chain include ticking noises from the engine, rough idling, misfiring, and loss of power. Our expert technicians conduct thorough inspections and use high-quality replacement parts to ensure your engine remains in peak condition, saving you from expensive repairs down the road.
