Belts and Hoses – Inspection/Replacement

Belts and Hoses – Inspection/Replacement – Usually recommended for replacement every 4 years
Service Includes: Belts & coolant hoses are visually inspected at every deluxe and premium oil change and major service. A crack in a belt can usually be confirmed visually-coolant hoses, on the other hand, deteriorate from the inside out, so many times a visual inspection is not a good indication of the true condition of the hose. This is why following a replacement schedule is important.
Why: Belts and hoses deteriorate over time and need to be replaced regularly to avoid breakdowns and potential engine damage.
