Really good, decent price, nice people and did the job quickly. Definitely going here for any future work.

Paul Brett

So glad I found this garage. They’re honest, exceptionally helpful and completely nonpatronising, which is always a relief for someone who knows little about cars. Excellent value as well- they’ll use their experience to find a workaround a problem rather than just replacing and expensive part if possible. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!

What is a Cambelt?

The cambelt is a rubber belt which controls the timing of a vehicle’s internal combustion engines. It is vital in the process of making the vehicle run smoothly as it also ensures the crankshaft and camshaft rotate in synchronisation. A snapped cambelt is uncommon however tension issues are more widespread. If the belt is too loose it will end up whipping around inside the engine which will cause a variety of knock on effects and if the belt is too tight it will put a strain on the bearings of the cogs it’s fitted to.

A tight belt will cause a whining noise to be emitted from the engine so if you hear this sound make sure to book a repair as soon as possible. You shouldn’t wait until this happens though, as the damage caused by a faulty cambelt will end up costing you even more money in repairs.
