Belts & Hoses

Belts and hose should be inspected about once a month.

Belts:

• Look for frayed, worn, glazed or cracked belts.
• Most cars today have only one belt that controls all systems (fan,alternator, water pump, power steering, air conditioning, etc.)
• Most auto manufacturers recommend replacing the belts approximately every 30,000 to 50,000 miles or if a belt has more than 10 cracks in a one-inch section of the belt.
• A trained technician can usually install most new belts on most cars in about an hour.

Hoses:

• You should look for swelling, softness or cracking.
• Inspecting hoses could potentially be dangerous if the motor is at operating temperature.
• Ask one of our professionals to inspect your hoses today.
