Timing Belt Replacement

Certified Ford Timing Belt Replacement Service Near Bessemer and Irondale, AL

Timing belt replacement is an involved repair because of the belt’s location deep within the engine. Our certified technician starts by removing components to access the timing belt. We open the timing belt cover, release tension, and remove the old belt. We inspect the exposed components in contact with the belt before installing a genuine OEM part to factory specifications. Many Ford owners often replace water pumps alongside timing belts due to the similar life expectancy and labor costs of accessing this area soon after. Contact us to discuss bundling timing belts and water pump replacements at Stivers Ford of Birmingham.

Ford Timing Belt Replacement Maintenance

Timing belts coordinate the engine’s moving parts to be in the right place at the right time. Although timing belts are durable, they operate with intense tension while in contact with moving parts, leading to degradation and needing replacement service at 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Ford owners operating in harsh conditions might require timing belt replacement sooner. Review the telltale timing belt trouble indicators, and contact us for an inspection/diagnosis as quickly as possible to prevent the consequences of a broken timing belt while driving:

• Engine clicking/ticking noise
