Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cambelt and why is it important?

A cambelt (timing belt) is a reinforced rubber belt that keeps the camshaft and crankshaft synchronised. If it snaps, pistons and valves collide causing catastrophic engine damage that can write off the vehicle.

How often should a cambelt be replaced?

Most manufacturers recommend replacing the cambelt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 5 to 7 years, whichever comes first. Check your vehicle handbook for specific intervals.

Are cambelts expensive to replace?

Cambelt replacement is significantly cheaper than repairing the engine damage caused by a snapped belt. We offer honest, competitive pricing and often recommend replacing the water pump at the same time to save on future labour costs.
