Cambelts

Signs that you may need to replace your cambelt.

• Ticking sound when you start the car – this can mean that your cambelt has stretched or worn
• Your car won’t start – this can be because a broken cambelt is not allowing the engine to get going

If you experience either of these or if you haven’t had your cambelt replaced for a while, get in touch with the team at SMC Garage. Most manufacturers recommend having your cambelt replaced at anything between 40,000 and 100,000 miles, or between 4 and 6 years. There is no definitive mileage or time period. If you are at all concerned about the condition of your cambelt, bring your car into our workshop in Shiremoor, and we’ll check it out, report back and of course, we can replace it if required.

When your vehicle is with SMC Garage, we want you to have peace of mind that it’s in safe hands. That’s why we work closely with and are affiliated with the Good Garage Scheme, Approved Garages and the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency. We’re proud to meet, and often surpass, the standards set by these organisations and leave you safe in the knowledge that your vehicle is in the hands of the experts.
