belts on sale

A serpentine belt is a long, flat belt made from durable rubber that winds around various pulleys within the engine compartment. It is characterized by its unique design, which allows it to loop around multiple components, thus minimizing the number of belts needed to operate essential systems. The term serpentine derives from its winding or serpentine shape, which is visually distinct compared to the older setup of multiple V-belts used in many vehicles prior to the late 20th century.

Regular maintenance is vital to prolonging the life of your timing belt set. It’s advisable to check the owner’s manual of your vehicle for specific recommendations on timing belt replacement intervals.

During replacement, it’s wise to replace the entire timing belt set, including the tensioner and idler pulleys, as these components are frequently subjected to wear and tear.
