When to Consider Belt Replacement

It’s essential to have your belts inspected regularly, typically every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer. Additionally, you should schedule a replacement if you notice any of the following signs:

• Squeaking or squealing noises from the engine
• Cracks or fraying on the belt surface
• Engine overheating (in the case of a timing belt)
• Warning lights on the dashboard

What Happens When You Neglect Belt Issues?

Ignoring worn or damaged belts can lead to serious engine problems. A broken serpentine belt can cause loss of power steering, overheating, and a dead battery, while a failing timing belt can lead to catastrophic engine failure. Don’t risk costly repairs—address belt issues promptly!
