Timing belt / Chain and kit Replacement

Your timing belt or chain keeps the engine’s top and bottom halves perfectly in sync. On most cars it must be changed at a set interval — ignore it and a snapped belt can destroy the engine in a single second.

Signs You Need This Service

• You’ve hit the manufacturer’s replacement interval (usually 90,000–150,000 km)
• A rattling or ticking from the front of the engine
• Visible cracks, glazing, or oil contamination on the belt
• Engine running rough, misfiring, or losing power
• Hard starting or no-start with the starter cranking normally
• Oil leaking from the timing cover

How The Handsome Mechanic Can Help

1. Confirm the correct service interval and parts needed for your specific make and model.
2. Replace belt or chain with a full kit — tensioners, idlers, water pump where appropriate.
3. Set timing marks precisely, torque to spec, and seal up properly.
4. Road test, scan, and confirm everything’s running sweet.
