Drive Belt Replacement Service

Taking care of your car includes knowing about basic services like drive belt replacement. The drive belt is a long rubber belt that connects your engine to other mechanical parts. As the motor turns, the rubber strip transfers motion to the other parts. Thus, without the drive belt, you can end up losing function in many other components. It is ultimately responsible for starting your car by way of the alternator and cooling your engine via the water pump.

In older cars, these parts were moved by a unique drive belt for each one. In theory, this is nice because when you lose power in your power steering or air conditioner, you could still drive. However, the single-belt system is much more efficient and resists breakage better. Fortunately, it is built to last, so you do not need to replace it often. It is also a relatively inexpensive part that is easy to swap out.
