As inconspicuous as a timing belt may seem to be, it is an important part of many combustion engines, ensuring that they work correctly. Typically made of a durable rubber material, timing belts have custom teeth that are designed to fit and turn the camshaft and crankshaft, keeping them perfectly synchronized. Without this perfect synchronization, an engine would lack the necessary compression and the ignition wouldn't fire at the right time.

Although there are a number of belts that can be found in an engine, the timing belt is probably the most important. In fact, if the timing belt were to snap, the engine would automatically quit. Additionally, changing this belt isn't typically a rapid job. It often requires the dismantling and rebuilding of a number of core engine elements.

Unfortunately, in the case of many vehicles, determining when a timing belt is going to fail is difficult to gauge. To that end, it's often recommended that owners get the belt changed at regular intervals to minimize any potential damage the engine could incur. This interval depends entirely on your particular vehicle. We usually recommend double-checking with your manufacturer's recommendations.
