You can book a cambelt change in Dursley at our local garage. Offering competitive rates and a quick and efficient service, we work on all makes and models. Each vehicle type will have its own manufacturer recommendations for replacing the cambelt. Signs your cambelt is failing aren’t always easy to spot, but if you hear squealing noises, have trouble starting your car, experience unusual rev or spring an oil leak, it could be to blame. Our qualified mechanics are on hand to get the belt changed and ensure your van, truck or car continues running smoothly. Give us a call today for a quote or to book an appointment.
A cambelt or cam chain, also known as a timing belt or timing chain, is a fundamental component of your car engine, connecting the crankshaft to the camshafts and regulating the combustion process. A cambelt is made of rubber, whereas the chain is metal links, yet each performs a near-identical function. Both should be routinely changed to prevent issues.
Timing belt replacement intervals vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. There is no set time it must be carried out, but manufacturers offer strong recommendations. This guidance is generally reliable unless your mileage is particularly high, and is also something a prospective buyer will hope has been followed. We are happy to advise you on when you should be looking to change your timing belt. Simply give us a call with your registration and we can let you know when it is due.
Over time, our vehicle’s components will begin to wear and need to be replaced. In some cases, we may choose to wait until parts fail before we arrange repairs. However, the cambelt (or chain) is not one of these parts! When a cambelt fails it leaves a considerable amount of damage in its wake. You can certainly expect broken valves and buckled pistons, but the entire cylinder head and engine block could also be destroyed. In a best-case scenario, you will need an engine rebuild; worst case, you may find yourself prematurely shopping for a new set of wheels! So, while it is not a legal requirement to get it changed, it is certainly in your best interest.
We offer affordable cambelt changes that help avoid more costly engine work. Work is carried out using quality, manufacturer-approved parts and our mechanics are fully qualified and experienced for a prompt turnaround. If you need to stay mobile while your vehicle is in with us, we also have a courtesy car available via advanced booking.
