Improve Engine Performance with Quality Belts and Hoses
Belts and hoses that transfer energy and coolant under your hood will degrade over time. It’s important to have them checked at intervals suggested by your vehicle’s manufacturer. At JCR Auto Repair, our automotive technicians performed thousands of belt services and radiator hose replacements. Don’t wait until a belt splits or hose bursts and leaves you stranded. Schedule an appointment to have your vehicle’s belts and hoses serviced today.
Radiator Hose Replacement Service Package
Radiator hoses are responsible for transferring hot coolant from your vehicle’s engine to the radiator for cooling, and then back to the engine after the coolant temperature has been lowered. The hoses and related components allow coolant to effectively move through your car’s cooling system. Replacing your car’s radiator hoses before they begin to leak can prevent a breakdown and potentially expensive repairs.
Make an Appointment
- Installation of new upper and lower hoses
- Installation of new radiator hose clamps
- Choice of coolant drain or fill, or a complete coolant exchange
Timing Belt Replacement Service Package
A timing belt is used by cars with an overhead cam design to drive and precisely synchronize camshaft movements. Like a serpentine or v-belt, the timing belt will degrade over time due to usage with factors such as temperature and stress. Unfortunately, wear on your timing belt is always visible to the naked eye because the belt is housed within the engine and behind the timing cover. Have our automotive technician inspect your car’s timing belt for potential problems.
Make an Appointment
- Access and removal of the timing cover to replace the belt
- Your engine is reassembled, and your timing is set
- Ensures that camshaft movements are synchronized
- Can increase gas mileage for your car
- Better performance
Serpentine or V- Belt Replacement Service Package
Belts allow your car’s rotating components, such as the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and A/C compressor, to keep turning. Some cars are equipped with V-belts on each component. Others feature a serpentine belt, which is one large, multi-groove belt routed around all your car’s rotating components. Visible signs of cracks, fraying, or splitting can indicate that it’s time to replace either type of belt.
Make an Appointment
- Visual examination to evaluate the condition of your belt(s)
- Removal of old belt(s)
- Installation of new belt(s)
- Inspection of all pulleys and belt tensioners to determine if belt degradation was caused by a faulty component
Belt Tensioners Replacement Service Package
A belt tensioner is a spring-loaded device equipped with a pulley that keeps the serpentine belt wrapped tightly around your engine’s accessory components. The tensioner and all the pulleys should be inspected when a new serpentine belt is needed or if your belts are squealing. A replacement is needed if the tensioner is worn or damaged.
Make an Appointment
- Inspection of belt tensioner to see if replacement is necessary
- Removal of serpentine belt
- Removal of old belt tensioner
