Timing Belt & Timing Chain Service Calgary SW & SE | Heritage AutoPro

Timing Belt, Timing Chain & Serpentine Belt Service in Calgary SW & SE

Your vehicle relies on multiple belts and timing components to run properly. The timing belt or timing chain keeps the engine’s internal parts synchronized, while the serpentine belt drives key accessories like the alternator, power steering (if equipped), A/C compressor, and water pump on many engines. When these components wear out, you can end up with warning lights, overheating, a dead battery, or even a no-start.

At Heritage AutoPro, we provide professional timing belt, timing chain, and serpentine belt service in Calgary SW & SE for cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans.

When These Services Are Needed

Timing Belt (scheduled replacement)

Timing belts are a wear item and are replaced by manufacturer mileage/time intervals. If you’re unsure, we can confirm your vehicle’s recommended interval.

Timing Chain (inspection/repair as needed)

Timing chains typically last longer than belts but can still wear or stretch over time.

Common timing chain symptoms:

• Rattle on cold start

• Check engine light with timing correlation codes

• Rough idle, misfires, or loss of power

Serpentine Belt (inspection/replacement as needed)

Serpentine belts wear from heat and age.

Common serpentine belt symptoms:

• Squealing or chirping from the engine bay

• Cracks, fraying, glazing, or missing ribs

• Battery/charging warning light (if the alternator isn’t being driven properly)

• Overheating (if the water pump is belt-driven)

• Sudden loss of A/C or power steering assist (vehicle-dependent)
