Drive Belt Replacement Service Savings in Ticonderoga, NY

Affordable Drive Belt Replacement Service

Every car relies on a series of belts called drive belts to function. Only older cars use multiple belts. In newer vehicles, there is often one drive belt. Engineers realized a long while ago that the drive belt is made more efficient by relying on the push-and-pull of various components. Snaking a long drive belt through each engine component creates a more efficient engine design and a drive belt that is less prone to breakage. As fuel burns and the motor turns, the drive belt transfers the energy to mechanical parts, like the alternator and fuel pump. It is a simple machine that works similarly to tracks pulling a tractor or a conveyor belt moving objects.

However, there is a major tradeoff between multiple belts and one-belt systems. Unlike older cars with multiple drive belts, newer cars with single belts require a new belt once or twice. However, the snaking belt system runs all mechanical parts. If the A/C compressor belt snapped in a multi-belt car, you could still drive, just without A/C. Now, if your drive belt snaps, you will need to replace it to keep your vehicle moving.

Fortunately, when your drive belt starts to give, replacing it is cheap and simple. It is even more affordable when you bring your car to Christopher Chevrolet in Ticonderoga, NY, for repair.

When Do You Need Drive Belt Replacement Service?

You should not need to replace your drive belt more than once or twice in its life. If you consult your user manual, you should find some estimate on how many miles to drive before considering replacement. It will also tell you how to drive with minimal damage to the drive belt. Some cars prescribe drive belt replacement every 30,000 miles, while others tell you to wait for more than 80,000 miles. It depends on the type of car and the drive belt. Your manual should tell you where to find your drive belt, too. If it starts to wear, you should notice some squeals when you drive, which occur more when wet. A drive belt can wear quickly due to a buildup of debris or fluid and aggressive driving.
