Your engine is a very delicate piece of machinery and needs to be taken care of. Car maintenance such as changing oil, engine filters and fluids is integral to maintaining the performance of your engine.

The other part of car maintenance is making sure the belts that keep the engine moving and car hoses that keep the fluids flowing is maintained, repaired and replaced if need be.

Serpentine Belt Replacement

A serpentine belt is also called a drive belt. It connects multiple engine components and accessories together such as the alternator, ac compressor and water pump.

Timing Belt Replacement

A timing belt is a part of your car’s internal combustion engine. The belt synchronizes the camshaft and the crankshaft rotation so that the engine valves open and close at the correct timings. Also, the belt prevents the piston from striking the valves in an interference engine. A timing Belt is a rubber belt that usually features teeth on the inside surface, while a timing chain is a metal roller chain. Most cars we drive now have timing belts instead of timing chains and gears. Although different manufacturers have their recommended mileage, you need to have your car’s timing belt checked regularly. To have it checked by experts, contact Richards Auto Clinic today.

Car Hose Replacement

There are numerous car hoses and they all have different functions but the main ones are coolant and water hoses. These car hoses are the weakest structural components of the vehicles engine make-up. They are rubber, absorb vibrations and pressure. Car Hoses can endure weather fluctuation as well as change in the atmosphere.
