The timing belt is essential for engine operation. It synchronizes your crankshaft with your camshafts. The crankshaft controls the pistons' motion while the camshafts control the movement of the valves. If you have an interference engine, the timing belt prevents the pistons from striking the valves. A well-maintained timing belt ensures proper engine performance. How can you know if your timing belt is in working order? You can have it inspected and serviced by one of our trained and certified professional technicians. Remember, preventative maintenance is the best maintenance.
