One of the things that can suddenly disable a high-mileage vehicle is a timing belt that breaks. This is because timing belts are sometimes forgotten during a vehicle's maintenance and are not replaced when they should be.
What does a timing belt do? The timing belt is a critical part of a vehicle's engine. It keeps the pistons and valves moving in perfect sync regardless of how fast the engine is running by turning two different shafts with high precision. When the timing belt breaks, the engine won't run until it's replaced. A timing belt that's worn can also cause a vehicle's engine to run poorly.
Here at Orleans Ford, our service center in Medina is staffed with certified technicians with the training needed to inspect and replace your vehicle's timing belt. Bring it in for an inspection today or call ahead to schedule an appointment.
