Timing Belt Replacement
Replace your cam belt on schedule and protect your engine — at a fixed price.
The timing belt, also known as the cam belt, keeps your engine's valves and pistons working in perfect time. It is a critical component that wears with age and mileage, so manufacturers set a replacement interval based on either a mileage figure or a number of years — whichever comes first. Replacing it before it fails is far cheaper than dealing with the consequences, because a snapped belt can cause serious and expensive engine damage.

Frequently asked questions
When should a timing belt be replaced?
Your manufacturer sets a replacement interval based on a mileage figure or a number of years, whichever comes first. The exact figure varies by vehicle, so it is worth checking your service schedule — the belt should be changed even if it looks fine, because age weakens it as much as mileage does.
What happens if my timing belt snaps?
On most modern engines a snapped belt lets the valves and pistons collide, which can bend valves and cause major internal damage. This often costs far more to repair than a planned belt change, which is why replacing it on schedule is so important.
Should I replace the water pump at the same time?
On many engines the water pump is driven by the timing belt and sits behind the same covers. If that is the case for your vehicle, replacing the pump at the same time is usually recommended, as most of the labour is shared. Whether it applies depends on your specific engine.
Does my car have a timing belt or a timing chain?
It depends on the engine. Some vehicles use a rubber timing belt that needs periodic replacement, while others use a chain that is designed to last much longer. Enter your registration and we will quote the correct job for your vehicle.
