In short

  • Timing belt and timing chain
  • For all car makes
  • We check which system your car has

What we do

Belt or chain: we check it.

Whether your car has a timing belt or a timing chain differs per make, model and engine.

  • Replacing the timing belt

    A timing belt wears and must be replaced according to the service schedule. If it breaks while driving, that can lead to serious engine damage and high repair costs.

  • Replacing the timing chain

    A timing chain generally lasts longer, but is not completely maintenance-free. Wear, a stretched chain or a faulty chain tensioner can cause problems. We replace the chain together with the necessary parts.

  • Checking the timing system

    Not sure whether the timing belt or chain is due for replacement? Our technicians check it and advise you on the right solution.
