Serpentine Belt Replacement Service

Why You Should Have Your Serpentine Belt Replaced

Like every other belt, your serpentine belt requires regular replacement. When your serpentine belt requires servicing there are several signs and common issues that could occur. Visually the belt itself may appear damaged with cracking, peeling, or missing pieces being visible. When driving you may also hear squeaking, the check battery light may turn on, and the car may not immediately turn on when you start it. More severe issues can include the car not starting at all, the engine overheating suddenly, steam, due to overheating, the car’s engine stopping suddenly, and in the most extreme cases, the belt slipping or breaking completely causing damage to the engine and its various components. In addition to this, the sudden loss of power when operating your car due to your serpentine belt failing can lead to an accident or other unsafe driving hazards such as a battery not holding a charge when you need it leaving you stranded. In general, your serpentine belt should last roughly 60,000 to 100,000 miles however, regular maintenance and inspections are recommended to check for any damage to the belt. During servicing not only will the belt be replaced but all pulley systems and component parts that come into contact with the serpentine belt will be checked to verify that they are operating properly.
