Did you know....What is a serpentine belt tensioner?

A serpentine belt tensioner is just what it sounds like. It keeps tensioner on your serpentine belt. Your serpentine belt stretches under load and the tensioner keeps proper pressure on your belt to keep it from slipping and causing issues. We typically recommend that your tensioner be replaced with your serpentine belt.  Give us a call and let us take care of you.  Happy Adventures,  Heather

Why does my car make a screeching noise when I turn it on?

Why does my car make a screeching noise when I turn it on?

If your car is making a screeching noise each time you start it, it is probably do to your belt being stretched. Your belts over a period of time will stretch with wear, if your belt has been replaced recently it just needs to be re-tightened and if that doesn't work then it should be replaced under warranty. If it's been awhile since your belts have been replaced it is then probably time to replace them.  Give us a call or request an appointment online and let us take care of you.  Happy Adventures, Heather
