What is a cam belt, and why is it important to repair or replace it?

Answer: A cam belt, also known as a timing belt, is a crucial engine component that synchronizes the rotation of the engine's crankshaft and camshaft. It ensures that engine valves open and close at the right time. Replacing it as recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer prevents engine damage and maintains optimal performance.​​

How often should I have my cam belt inspected or replaced?

The replacement interval varies by make and model, typically between 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 5 to 7 years. However, regular inspections are essential. If you notice signs of wear, consult a professional immediately.
