What is a timing belt or timing chain? The timing belt in a vehicle’s engine controls the rotations of the engine shafts and the opening of the engine valves. In essence, the timing belt coordinates the flow of air and gasoline to ensure the engine functions properly. The timing chain does a similar job as a timing belt, except it is made of a metal chain, whereas a timing belt is made of rubber. A timing chain is made to last the life of a car, so unless it’s faulty, it shouldn’t need to be replaced. A timing belt on the other hand will need to be replaced periodically. Given its function in the engine, staying up to date on your timing belt replacement in Greenville can be important for your Honda, Acura, Lexus or Toyota vehicle to function properly.

Often used in situations requiring high precision even under high speed and varying heavy loads, such as in automotive drive mechanisms and industrial machinery.

To be on the safe side, we recommend the timing belt on your Honda, Acura, Lexus or Toyota vehicle be replaced regularly. A good rule of thumb is to replace the timing belt every 60,000 - 100,000 miles. There are cases where the timing belt gives no warning that it’s faulty and instead just breaks. It can also be more costly to repair your timing belt once it breaks, rather than replacing it as a preventative measure. Therefore, staying ahead of the potential issue and replacing the timing belt regularly can save you money and reduce stress.

Some cars have timing chains instead of belts. You can ask your local Anderson mechanic which your car has.

If the engine is vibrating or shaking when idling, performing poorly or the engine light is illuminated, you’ll want to have one of our technicians take a look. These are all symptoms of a damaged timing chain.
