Why Are Belts and Hoses Important?

Your vehicle’s belts and hoses are responsible for driving critical systems like the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning. Over time, exposure to heat, vibration, and chemicals can cause them to crack, fray, or deteriorate. A failed belt or burst hose can leave you stranded or cause major engine damage.

Some key components that need regular inspection include:

• Serpentine belts – power multiple engine accessories

• Timing belts – keep your engine’s valves and pistons in sync

• Radiator hoses – carry coolant to regulate engine temperature

• Heater hoses – transport coolant to the heater core

Ignoring a worn belt or hose can lead to breakdowns, overheating, or costly repairs. That’s why proactive replacement is critical to your vehicle’s health.

Watch for these warning signs that it’s time to visit Automotive Unlimited:

• Cracks, fraying, or splitting on belts
