Timing Belt Replacement Maryland Heights, MO

We focus on timing belt replacements for folks in Maryland Heights, MO. This isn’t just a routine fix—it’s a must for your car’s health and lifespan.

Your timing belt keeps your engine’s valves and pistons in sync. If it snaps, you’re looking at some serious engine trouble and a big repair bill.

Most car makers say to change out the timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. The exact number depends on your car’s make and model, so check your manual if you’re unsure.

Warning signs your timing belt might be on its last leg:

• Engine misfiring
• Strange engine noises
• Sluggish engine performance
• Oil leaking from the front of the motor
• Engine won’t turn over

We use quality parts and stick to what the manufacturer recommends. 

We’ll check the water pump, tensioners, and pulleys too. These parts often wear out together, so it just makes sense to handle them all at once.



Swapping out a timing belt usually takes us about 4-6 hours, depending on your car. We offer loaner cars and shuttle rides for our Maryland Heights customers, so you’re not stuck waiting around.

Unusual engine noises - If you hear ticking or rattling from the engine, especially when starting up, your timing belt could be loose or wearing out. It's tempting to shrug off these noises, but they're usually a sign something's up.

Engine misfires - A worn timing belt can slip and cause your engine to misfire. That means your car won't run as smoothly and you'll probably notice a dip in fuel efficiency.

Visible wear and tear - When we handle routine maintenance, we check for cracks, fraying, or glazing on your timing belt. If we spot those, it's time to swap it out.

Oil leaks near the timing belt - Oil leaking onto the belt can weaken the rubber and cause trouble. We always check for leaks that might threaten your belt's condition.

High mileage - Most manufacturers say to replace timing belts every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. We'll check your car's specific guidelines to be sure.



Letting us handle your replacement means we install the right parts for your vehicle, not just whatever's on hand. Our techs in Maryland Heights use components and methods the manufacturer recommends, so you avoid future headaches.
