It’s inevitable, as time goes on, your vehicle’s belts, pulleys and hoses will show signs of wear and tear.  Unfortunately, many vehicle owners overlook the importance of regular preventative maintenance for belts, pulleys and hoses.  That’s why Cardinale Mazda Salinas wants to remind you to bring your vehicle to us so we can properly care for your vehicle’s belts, pulleys and hoses.

 

Belts, Pulleys And Hoses… Oh My!

For those of you who may be skeptical of why belts, pulleys and hoses are important, consider this. It’s like a television series where you have your starring lead actor and actress, but without the supporting players, chances are good the storyline isn’t going anywhere.  After all, where would Lucy and Ricky be without Fred and Ethel?  Without working belts, pulleys and hoses your vehicle likely won’t get very far.

 

Timing Belts And Serpentine Belts

It’s critical to make sure you regularly check your vehicle’s belts on an annual basis.  Don’t learn the hard way how expensive it is to repair these belts.  It is far better to be ahead of the curve and know when there are signs of wear and tear that require replacement belts.  The timing belt drives the camshaft, which is very important because it is what makes your engine go. Typically, if the timing belt needs replacing, our Service technician will see signs including worn teeth, fraying of the belt, or you may notice that your engine backfires. The serpentine belts are responsible for transferring power to parts of the engine.  If the serpentine belts break, this can damage your engine.  Our Service technicians will check serpentine belts for any signs of cracking or slippage.

 

Pulleys And Hoses

As part of the preventative maintenance check, our Service technicians will also check your vehicle’s pulleys and hoses. They will look for wear and tear, cracks and leaks and repair or replace as necessary.  You can rest assured that your vehicle will have many miles left to run if you regularly adhere to an auto maintenance schedule.  We make it easy at Cardinale Mazda Salinas with our highly trained Service technicians that will gladly explain maintenance and service repairs and send out reminders for upcoming maintenance check-ups.
