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

Posted on 10/25/2019



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,
