Is Your Timing Belt Due for Replacement?

---

“Free safety check included – Prevent costly engine damage” 

Your vehicle’s timing belt plays a critical role in keeping your engine running smoothly. It synchronises the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft to ensure that the engine’s valves open and close at precisely the right time. When a timing belt fails, it can cause catastrophic engine damage—often without warning.

At PrimeStar Automotive, we understand that timing belt issues can be easy to overlook until it’s too late. That’s why we offer honest, expert inspection and replacement services for all makes and models. Whether you’re due for a scheduled replacement or have concerns about noise, performance, or a warning from your mechanic, we’re here to help.

While each vehicle manufacturer sets different replacement intervals, most vehicles require a timing belt change between 90,000 to 150,000 kilometres or after 5–10 years—whichever comes first.

 If you’re not sure whether your car uses a timing belt or a timing chain, or when it was last replaced, we’re happy to check your vehicle history and advise you.
