Timing Belt Repair at Don Miller Subaru East

Timing belts are an important part of your Subaru's engine that can greatly impact your vehicle's performance. The timing belt's job is to coordinate the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft; this ensures that the engine's valves open and close with the proper timing. You'll know if your timing belt fails because your engine will immediately stall and you may see the check engine light on your dashboard. If you experience an engine stall and check engine light, it's recommended that you stop driving and have your vehicle towed to the Don Miller Subaru East service center, as driving with a possible timing belt issue can result in total engine failure. The best way to preserve the integrity of your Subaru's engine is to bring it into our service center so our factory-trained technicians can evaluate the systems and determine the best next steps.

Timing belts should be replaced as part of your scheduled maintenance in order to prevent a major system failure and costly engine damage. The average range for timing belt replacement is between 60,000 and 105,000 miles; when your vehicle reaches this mileage, ask your technician to check your timing belt when you go in for regular service so you may catch the issue before you have a breakdown. Timing belt replacement is a major repair that involves the removal of several timing components and major engine deconstruction, so it's best to leave this repair to the factory trained experts in the Don Miller Subaru East service center. Should your vehicle require this repair, we also recommend replacing the water pump and front seals at the same time, so you don't have to return for a separate service visit. If you have questions about your Subaru's timing belt, contact us or stop by our service center to learn more. We want to help you keep your Subaru running perfectly for many years and miles to come.
