Signs Your Timing Belt May Be Due

Most drivers wait until something feels “off.”
If you’ve noticed any of these, don’t ignore them:

  • Squealing or ticking noises from the engine
  • Rough idling or misfiring
  • Oil leaks near the front of the engine
  • High mileage since your last replacement
  • No record of a timing belt change in your service history

Even if everything sounds fine, it’s worth checking — belts rarely give warnings before snapping.


When to Replace a Timing Belt

Here’s a quick guide:

  • Most cars need a new belt every 60,000–100,000 miles or 5–7 years
  • If your car struggles to start, makes ticking noises, or the engine misfires, it could be time
  • If you’ve just bought a used car and there’s no record of a timing belt change, don’t risk it

We’ll take a quick look, confirm the condition, and let you know honestly if it’s due soon , no guesswork.
