Timing Belt Replacement in Austin, TX

Your Timing Belt Replacement Solution

The next time your car, truck, or SUV needs a timing belt replacement, trust the professionals at Leonard’s Automotive Service Center in Austin, TX. With decades of repair and replacement experience, our ASE-certified technicians can spring into action, making OEM part replacements on components, including your car’s timing chain. Typically, this has to be swapped out at the 60,000 to 100,000-mile marker, so you want to call us when this comes around. The timing belt on a vehicle is responsible for synchronizing the movement of the crankshaft and camshafts. It ensures that the engine intake and exhaust valves open and close in time with the pistons. Without it, you can expect engine trouble to worsen relatively quickly, leading to a failing system. That’s why a timing belt replacement is a good idea when your current one no longer operates as needed. We’ll be here to help and are a call 512-445-2892 away. You can also swing by 4401 S 1st Street Austin, TX 78745 and have us check out your timing belt throughout the week, whichever is easiest.

Signs You Need Timing Belt Replacement

If you suspect your car may need a timing belt replacement, there are symptoms to look for. In general, a bad timing belt will show itself through things like a ticking noise under the hood, engine stalling, oil leaks, hydroplaning while driving, a check engine light on the dash, or engine misfiring. This can be scary for anyone behind the wheel, so if you notice anything strange with your model, please schedule an appointment for us to inspect the area. There could be something different going on with your engine or surrounding parts unrelated to the timing chain, which we can quickly determine during our inspection process. However, if your vehicle has gone over 60,000 miles and is getting up in age, a timing belt replacement will likely be what you need. Give us a call or request an appointment through our website to find out today.
