Timing Belt and Timing Chain Replacement in Denton and Krum
If your car has been on the road for a while, you may be approaching when a timing belt or chain replacement is needed. Many automobile owners overlook timing belt or chain maintenance because the part is hidden deep within the engine. Yet, it’s a vital component. At Barebones Automotive, we proudly offer timing belt and chain replacements for drivers in Denton, TX, and Krum, TX. With a reputation for honest, high-quality service since we opened in 2011, we’re here to make sure you’re never caught off guard by a timing belt or chain failure.
The timing belt or chain synchronizes the rotation of the engine’s camshaft and crankshaft, allowing the engine’s valves to open and close at the precise times necessary for combustion. In simpler terms, the timing belt or chain ensures that all parts of your engine work together seamlessly.
Timing Belts vs. Chains
Timing Belts are typically made of rubber with reinforcing materials, and they’re common in many newer models. Timing belts are quieter and lighter, but they do wear out over time due to high temperatures and regular use.
Timing Chains are metal and resemble a bicycle chain. They’re often found in high-performance vehicles and tend to last longer than belts. However, timing chains can stretch over time, leading to possible misalignment if not replaced or serviced.
When Should You Replace Your Timing Belt or Chain
The recommended replacement interval for a timing belt or chain varies depending on your vehicle’s make, model, and mileage. Timing belts generally need replacement between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, while timing chains can last longer but should still be checked regularly as part of your vehicle’s maintenance.
At Barebones Automotive, our master ASE-certified technicians can assess the condition of your timing belt or chain and related parts, ensuring they’re free of wear, cracks, or other signs of deterioration. We inspect pulleys, tensioners, and seals associated with the timing belt or chain system. Often, these parts need replacement along with the belt or chain to avoid issues later.
Our team will replace your timing belt or chain and other essential components, like the water pump, if necessary. This replacement ensures a longer life and better performance from your engine. We use only top-grade parts for your timing system to ensure durability and longevity. And rest assured, a 24-month/24,000-mile warranty backs our work.
