Timing Belt Replacement - What You Need To Know

What is a Timing Belt, and how does it work?

Within an engine, there are some major components which need to work in synchronization so that the engine can burn fuel and produce power to move the car. Like the conductor in an orchestra, this is the function of the timing belt. Timing belts are toothed drive belts used to synchronize the motion of an engine's crankshaft and camshaft. Within an engine, there is a crankshaft that is connected to pistons. Similar to a bicycle when you push your feet up and down to turn the rear wheel, so do pistons move up and down to turn the crankshaft. Above the pistons are valves that open and close like doors to allow the air and fuel into the engine to be burned and exhaust back out. These valves are operated by the camshaft. Burning fuel is what drives the pistons down. All of this is happening many times each second the engine is running, so if this sequence of events wasn’t in perfect time then there would be major engine damage as components would crash into each other and destroy the engine. This would be extremely expensive to repair!

When Should You Replace Your Timing Belt?

When should you replace your timing belt? A timing belt must be replaced at an interval specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Whilst some things in a vehicle can be replaced on a more subjective basis, due to the importance of the timing belt and the fact its condition cannot be easily determined with a visual inspection no chances are taken. Generally speaking, this is approximately every 100,000km to 150,000km or every 10 years regardless of distance. In either case, having a qualified mechanic perform the timing belt replacement is essential as incorrect installation can lead to catastrophic engine damage.

How much does a Timing Belt cost?

A timing belt can generally cost anywhere from \$500 to \$1500, even more for some SUV, 4WD and luxury / exotic vehicles. The best way to figure out if you need a timing belt is to have your car serviced by a mechanic and cross check against the maintenance history of the vehicle.

Don't Delay!

The last thing you want is for your timing to fail and leave you stranded with a costly repair bill, so if you need a new timing belt or are unsure if you do call us today for a friendly chat and get your car booked in for a diagnostic & replacement.

Charlie was both friendly and professional. I was able to grab a coffee and bite up the road as he only took 40minutes to service the car. He was great at explaining the issue with the car, even used props. I'll be going back to him in the future!

Live locally to Charlie and even if I lived 2 hours away I'd still drive all that way for him to service my car. Best guy, super helpful and explains things in detail. Couldn't recommend him enough!

I got a service from Charlie at my home address and it was a smooth and professional operation.He was on time, polite, knowledgeable, fair in pricing and efficient.He also didn’t speak down to me regarding my vehicle which does irritate me with some mechanics.I was so happy with the service he provided I’d use him for any future work he’s set up to do and I’d 100% recommend him to anyone.

Charlie made what is normally an ordeal for me (sorting out how to get to and from a mechanic, only to be sold a bunch of unnecessary extras) an absolute breeze. Honest, friendly and refreshingly free of BS, Charlie got to it while I sat in a cafe munching on the smashed avo toast I could afford from not going to a big garage franchise.You've got my continued business, mate, and that of the friends and family who I'll be directing your way!

Flexible, reliable and efficient car service from Charlie at CB Auto Service. Was even able to reschedule me dropping the car to him at his home workshop short notice. Would recommend to friends and use his mechanical servicing again. Thanks

Charlie was good enough to make time to service my car before I drove down south. He was efficient and thorough and reasonably priced. Absolutely recommend CB Auto Service.

Hi! Charlie came out to us to attend to an annoying issue with our son's car leaking oil. The problem is still being sorted, but Charlie has been great, offering good old fashioned service that is so hard to come by these days. He is reliable, very thorough, and is keeping us well informed with where he is at with regards to accessing parts etc. We highly recommend his very convenient service.

If I lived in Perth, Charlie would definitely be my mechanic!. I arrived in Perth with less than 24 hours until I traded in my vehicle and its showing an orange engine code. I felt sick... Even though I never got to meet Charlie, I will be forever grateful for his text messages with very valuable advice. Charlie, I really hope I get to hand over some money to you one day because you are an absolute gem!! When your a tradesman your time is so valuable and you gave me yours for free..... You deserve all the money and customers in the world. I wish there were more people in the world like you. Thank you so much. I love that you love running your own business! You are exactly where you need to be 🙂

Charlie is a great guy he performed a logbook service on my car, he arrived on time, his work is very clean and meticulous attention to detail. His pricing is comparable to what I’ve been paying at garages. He is happy to show and explain any genuine issues with the car, and can even diagnose and reset your cars computer, something other garages don’t often do. No more missing work or getting a taxi or friend to pick you up, most services are complete in under two hours so you don’t loose your car for the whole day.

Charlie was very thorough with checking all possible causes to try and find the issue with my Hyundai Elantra. He was great at explaining in layman’s terms what he was doing and what could be the problem. Charlie was very honest when he said he was only 80% sure it was the fuel pump and agreed when I said I’d get a Hyundai Dealer service department to look at it too. Charlie is excellent with communication, including phone calls and answering texts, and also punctual - coming to look at my car at the time he said he would. He’s a trustworthy guy and I’m getting a quote to replace the fuel pump 🙂

Charlie is an awesome mechanic. Super quick to diagnose the intermittent fault I’ve been having with my car for over 2 years. He was happy to share his wealth of knowledge to help me understand the problem too. I highly recommend him.

Charlie was honest, friendly and reliable, arriving exactly at our agreed time. He completed the alternator exchange quickly and efficiently and the cost was exactly what he had quoted. Great service and I would have no hesitation in recommending Charlie at all. Thanks again Charlie for the great service.
