The serpentine belt drives the alternator, water pump, power steering, and air conditioning, so a glazed or cracked belt is worth replacing before it fails. We inspect the ribs, cracks, and tensioner, then replace the belt where you park when access allows, and we tell you whether the tensioner should be replaced at the same time.
When you need it
Replace a belt if you hear squeal on startup, see cracks or missing ribs, or the belt is original at high mileage.
How this visit works
We confirm routing from the under-hood diagram, replace the belt, and check charging and accessories before wrapping up.
