Automotive Tips from Tuffy Fort Myers (Colonial Blvd): Knowing When Your Timing Belt Should Be Replaced

July 28, 2025

The timing belt in your engine controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. Fort Myers drivers need to replace it on a schedule to avoid failure.

Timing belts are very difficult to get to, requiring quite a bit of labor to access. Timing belt replacement is one of the more expensive maintenance services, but the cost at Tuffy Fort Myers (Colonial Blvd) to correct an engine damaged by a broken timing belt is much, much more.

The timing belt has a tensioner to help maintain proper belt tension. The tensioner should be replaced along with the timing belt and any idler pulleys at the vehicle manufacturer’s specified service interval. Your Tuffy Fort Myers (Colonial Blvd) service advisor can help you with the timing belt.

Give us a call.
