specify that the Cam Belt be replaced at regular
intervals. If this is not done, the consequences of a cam-belt
failure, even at low speeds can cause very severe damage to your
engine and much more expensive then routine replacement.

many cars. Our Engineering department will be able to advise you
if your cam-belt should be replaced based on the mileage and
service schedule of your car.

service to work around you. That means we work to your schedule,
including where possible to arrange a local pickup and delivery
of your vehicle.

What happens when a Cam Belt
breaks?
The Cam belt controls the exact timing of when components inside
the engine move with complete, precise synchronisation. If this
breaks, two sets of components crash into each other and it
means that a £20 cam belt breaking can cause thousands of pounds
of damage. To avoid this, manufacturers recommend routine
replacement of this critical component.
