The timing belt in your engine controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. Bloomington auto owners need to replace it on a schedule to avoid failure.
Timing belts are very problematic to get to, requiring quite a bit of labor to access. Timing belt replacement is one of the more expensive maintenance services, but the cost to correct an engine damaged by a broken timing belt is much, much more.
