Belt & Hose Replacement

Belts and hoses are needed to keep your vehicle running properly. They play key roles in many major systems on your vehicle, including the engine cooling system, air conditioning, alternator, radiator, heater core, and more. Belts and hoses are made up of rubber and other synthetic materials. As a result, they can dry out and deteriorate over time due to constantly exposed to heat, vibrations, and chemicals.

We recommend having a qualified United Tire & Service technician inspect belts and hoses with every oil change.

Benefits of Belts & Hoses

Your belts and hoses are components of your vehicle with the shortest life spans. The heat produced by the engine and transmission has the potential to cause cracks and leaks, which may cause squeaking, screeching, or grinding noises while driving.

Belts: Belts are used as a power source for engine accessories such as the alternator, water pump, fan, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and air injection pump. The timing belt maintains the precise synchronization required to keep the engine’s valves and pistons moving in sync.

Hoses: Hoses and steel lines transfer coolant, brake fluid, and fuel throughout the vehicle.

Keep belts and hoses well maintained, especially in the summertime, is important due to increased temperatures, which will accelerate deterioration of the rubber components. Routine inspection and replacement of your hardworking belts and hoses will keep your engine running properly and your car driving smoothly and efficiently.
