A broken timing belt or chain can destroy your engine instantly. This is one repair you never want to skip. Supercanic handles timing services on all makes and models, including complex import engines.
Not sure which your car has? Here's the difference, and why it matters for your maintenance schedule.
Made of rubber with teeth. Quieter but wears out over time. Must be replaced on a schedule or it will break without warning, destroying the engine in interference engines.
Made of metal links. Designed to last the life of the engine with regular oil changes, but can stretch or rattle when oil maintenance is neglected.
Pro tip: Always replace the water pump when doing a timing belt, it's driven by the same belt and costs much less to replace now than later.
Most Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi models. Belt systems typically 2 to 4 hours.
Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota. Chain or belt depending on engine. 3 to 6 hours typical.
BMW, Audi, VW, Mercedes. More complex, especially BMW chain systems up to 20 hours.
Power Stroke, Cummins, Duramax. Timing service often includes gear drive or chain service.
If you're near your mileage interval or hearing a ticking noise, call us today. A timing service is far cheaper than an engine replacement.
