Timing Belt Services to Ensure Premium Engine Performance

Your timing belt plays a critical role in the synchronization of your engine’s internal components. When it starts to wear out, it doesn’t give much warning, and a snapped timing belt can lead to serious (and expensive) engine damage.

At Nelson’s, we inspect, replace, and properly tension timing belts to manufacturer specifications for all vehicle makes and models. Don’t leave your engine’s health to chance! Our ASE-certified techs use high-quality parts and industry-best tools to make sure your car runs as smoothly as the day you bought it.

Is It Time to Replace the Timing Belt of Your Vehicle?

While most modern timing belts should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, your owner’s manual should have the exact interval. Not sure if you're due for a timing belt replacement?

Here are some signs to watch for:

  • Ticking noise coming from the engine
  • Engine won’t turn over
  • Oil leaking from the front of the motor
  • Engine misfires or runs rough

Even if your vehicle is running fine, a proactive replacement could save you thousands in engine repairs later down the road. When in doubt, let our team take a look — we’ll give you an honest opinion, a free estimate, and zero pressure!
