When To Replace Timing Belt or Chain?

At Tucson Hybrids, we specialize in hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) auto repair, ensuring your advanced automotive technology receives the expert care it deserves. Timing belts or chains are crucial components in your vehicle's engine, responsible for synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft to ensure the engine's valves open. In hybrid and EV vehicles, maintaining this synchronization is vital for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Generally, timing belts should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations, while timing chains are designed to last longer but should still be inspected regularly for signs of wear. At Tucson Hybrids, our experienced technicians are trained to recognize the early warning signs of timing belt or chain issues and can provide timely replacements to prevent engine damage and ensure the longevity of your vehicle. Trust Tucson Hybrids for all your hybrid and EV auto repair needs, and experience the difference of specialized, quality care.
