TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT
Cambelts (also known as timing belts) control the timing of your vehicle’s engine. If you notice strange noises coming from the engine or poor acceleration, it could be a sign that your cambelt needs replacing.
The cambelt is one of the most crucial components of your car’s engine. Vehicle manufacturers recommend cambelt replacements based on the mileage and age of your vehicle. It is important to get your cambelt checked regularly to prevent engine damage and expensive repair costs.
At Traffic Motor Company, our skilled technicians can check your cambelt, give you advice, and provide a replacement if necessary. All replacement parts are of the highest quality, and any repairs are fully guaranteed. Call us today to book a cambelt check or a full vehicle service.
WHY IS YOUR CAR’S CAMBELT SO IMPORTANT?
At Traffic Motor Company, we have over 20 years of experience repairing cars. You can trust our team for expert advice about your car’s cambelt.
WHAT DOES A CAMBELT DO?
Your cambelt synchronises the rotation of your crankshaft and your camshaft, making sure the valves in your engine open and close at the correct intervals.
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOUR CAMBELT NEEDS REPLACING?
You might hear rattling or ticking noises in your engine, experience poor acceleration, or notice higher fuel consumption.
HOW LONG DOES A CAMBELT LAST?
The lifespan of a cambelt varies depending on the make and model of your car. But it should last from 4 to 6 years. Keep in mind that you may need a replacement if you’ve driven between 40,000 to 100,000 miles.
IS YOUR CAMBELT WORTH REPLACING?
The simple answer is YES! A cambelt failure can cause serious mechanical damage (and a possible engine overhaul). It’s best to get it checked out as soon as possible.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CAMBELT REPLACEMENT
Knowing what to expect takes the worry out of booking a repair. When you come to us for timing belt replacement, our technicians remove the covers to reach the belt, fit a new one to the manufacturer's specification, carefully reset the engine's timing, and inspect the surrounding components before checking everything runs as it should. It is precise work, which is exactly why it is a job for an experienced garage rather than a DIY attempt.
We will often recommend replacing the water pump at the same time, since it sits behind the same covers and is driven by the belt on many engines. Doing both together saves paying twice for the same labour later, and it means fewer visits and less time without your car. Our team will always talk you through what your particular vehicle needs before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the bill.
LOCAL CAMBELT REPLACEMENT YOU CAN RELY ON
Booking your cambelt replacement services with a trusted local garage means straightforward advice and a team you can actually speak to. Based on Glasgow Road in Barrhead, we make it easy to drop your car in and get back to your day. And because we are a full car garage repair service, anything else we spot while your car is with us can be sorted in the same place, rather than sending you elsewhere.
