Belts and Hoses

Belt and hoses are part and parcel of any car, bus or an engine. Belts are normally made of elastic rubber of high duty capability and stress. Some belts are so important that the engine or the machine will stop to breathe if it stops its working within seconds. Hoses on the other hands work in the supply of lubricants and water. For example a hose in the car radiator bursts and the engine starts to heat up in no time. If the engine is not stopped within 20 seconds the engine will burst too.

Life Span of Belts and Hoses

Among all the equipment in your vehicle, belts and hoses have the shortest lifespan. These components often crack, leak, or fray due to their constant exposure to heat, vibration, and other harmful chemicals. If not promptly replaced and maintained, it could spell disaster for your vehicle’s performance. Belt and hose evaluations based solely on their appearance are not enough. We recommend diligent inspection, and are here to do it. Here is a sample of how we ensure belt and hose quality:

Visual Inspection of Belts

Search for clear indications of damage (cracking, glazing, softening, or peeling)
Test for correct tension
Test for correct alignment
Record belt condition for future reference

Visual Inspection of Hoses

Search for leaks, cracks, hardening, or softening.
Test cooling system for leaks using state-of-the-art pressure technology
Record hose condition for future reference

Get your vehicle’s belts and hoses inspected on a regular basis because damaged pieces can seriously harm your vehicle. Research shows that while most people get regular oil changes, they neglect the condition of their belts and hoses. A leaking hose or a cracked belt will cause you more trouble than an overdue oil change ever will.

The following is a brief description of some of the different belts and hoses we inspect:

Drive Belts:

The engine drives some of your vehicle’s accessories. Instead of being supplied by electric power, these accessories rely on a series of pulleys and belts to operate. Some of these accessories include:

Power steering pump
Alternator
Air conditioning compressor
Radiator cooling fan
Water pump

Some vehicles require a single serpentine belt to power these accessories (as opposed to several individual belts).

Hoses:

If you think of hoses as your vehicle’s circulatory system, then you’ll have an appropriate representation of their importance. Hoses are composed of two rubber layers with fabric in between. Types of hoses vary on make and model, but typically include:
