Drive Belt Replacement Available in Salem, VA

Drive Belt Replacement Service at Berglund Ford

It is recommended that you get your drive belt visually inspected each time you take your car in for an annual inspection. If you feel as if your vehicle is due for its annual inspection, then head on down to Berglund Ford Salem and let our team of knowledgeable service technicians take a look. Not only do we provide general inspections, we also offer oil and filter changes, fluid inspections and top-off, tire rotations, brake repairs, transmission work, and much more. 

However, if you have noticed some worrisome signs emanating from the hood, or performance issues, then you might want to take it into our service center as soon as possible as your drive belt might be on its way out. Though it is usually difficult to tell when a drive belt has run its course, you can sometimes cue in on a few signs. 

Signs of a bad serpentine belt include a squealing noise from the front of your car, lack of power steering, air conditioning malfunctions, and engine overheating. A defective timing belt will be noticeable thanks to ticking noises coming from the engine, the engine will not start, the engine frequently misfires, and oil leaks from the front of the motor. 

It is imperative that your drive belt is repaired before further damage occurs. A drive belt is one of the most critical components of your vehicle. Its primary job is to deliver power to multiple engine parts. Most vehicles have multiple drive belts (V-belt, timing belt, serpentine belt); however, a single belt is typically called a serpentine belt.

Overall, a drive belt itself is made up of rubber that is designed to last for long periods of time. A typical drive belt can last for as long as 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or even longer.
