If your car’s engine is the heart of your vehicle, the timing belt is what keeps that heart beating in rhythm. At Nelson’s Automotive, we specialize in timing belt replacement and maintenance services that keep your engine running at peak performance.
Whether you’re overdue for service or suspect something’s off under the hood, we’re the reliable neighborhood auto care shop you can trust to catch it early and fix it right, because we believe your car deserves the same level of attention as we’d give our own!
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.
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:
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!
