Timing Belt Replacement in Franklin, TN

We Offer Timing Belt Replacement in Franklin, TN

Every vehicle has a timing belt, or a timing chain for some newer vehicles. The timing belt connects the vehicle’s crankshaft and camshaft inside of the engine; it works by making sure that they spin at the same time. When a timing belt is at peak performance then you will notice swift acceleration and responsive steering. When it’s not, then it’s time to bring your vehicle in for timing belt replacement in Franklin at our auto shop. 

Timing belts will normally last between 7 to 10 years, or 80k to 100k miles. It is important to remember that every vehicle is different and that you should always check your owner’s manual for the manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule.

When your timing belt fails, you are at risk of causing serious damage to your engine and engine parts. If you’re ever in a situation where the timing belt fails, then you will not have experience any signals that there is a problem beforehand. The timing belt will simply snap and your engine will stop running completely without any notice. This can be extremely scary in the wrong conditions, like going top speeds on a highway or on roadways filled with cars.

Our team at McLean Automotive is ASE and I-CAR certified and experienced with replacing timing belts. It’s extremely important that you work with someone experienced when replacing your timing belt because if you set it improperly, then it can have serious consequences.

If you are in need of help replacing your timing belt, call us to make an appointment. We are happy to help get you back out on the road!
