Why Regular Belt and Hoses Checks are Crucial

Automotive belts and hoses play a vital role in how your vehicle functions–but since they’re made out of rubber and are exposed to high temperatures, they can lose tension or become cracked or damaged over time. When belts become too loose, they can slip off of the pulleys and damage nearby components; not only is this unsafe, but it can cause expensive repairs. Worn or cracked hoses can lead to fluid leaks, an overheating engine, and other issues that can put your vehicle at risk of damage or premature wear.

For this reason, you should have your belts and hoses checked regularly for signs of damage or wear, and make sure to follow your manufacturer’s recommended replacement schedule. You can find these recommendations in your owner’s manual, or we’re happy to look it up for you. Some common signs you have a belt or hose that needs replacement include:

Visible cracks in the ribbed portion of the drive belt(s)
A/C or power steering malfunctions
High-pitched screeching or whirring sounds during engine startup
Sudden vehicle breakdown
A burning smell
Warning lights illuminate
