Timing Belt Repair Lake Charles, LA

Offering professional automotive repair in Lake Charles and the surrounding areas.

Your vehicle’s timing belt is reliable for controlling  the camshafts in your engine, opening and closing valves at just the right time for smooth operation. As time passes the teeth on your timing belt that allows it to grip the camshaft will begin to wear down. This is often caught by Pro Car Care mechanics during inspections and replaced right away.

The belts and hoses inside your vehicle are often exposed to harsh conditions. Constantly exposed to engine heat, vehicle vibrations, and harmful chemicals. Because of this they have the shortest life. We recommend replacing your belts and hoses every 50,000 to 100,000 miles depending on your vehicle’s make and model

It is important to keep your timing belt in good condition and replace it when needed, but there's no need for regular replacement – unless explicitly recommended by the manufacturer. Many modern belts can last 100,000 miles or more without needing a change

How Much Does Replacing a Timing Belt Cost?

Pro Car Care suggest replacing your timing belt before it goes bad. Catch the early signs of failure can save you from a future of costly repairs. When a timing belt breaks while driving it can cause damage to parts around it. The cost to replace a timing belt is often determined by your vehicles make and model, and the cost of labor to replace the belt. We suggest setting aside a least a couple hundred in order to cushion the blow of any unexpected repairs.

Pro Car Care offers expert timing belt repairs and inspections. Our team of mechanics will often preform inspection upon request during your routine oil changes. Different vehicles use different styles of timing belts with some vehicles using chain belts for a more durable option.
