Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does timing belt replacement cost?
Costs range from AED 800 to AED 2,500 depending on vehicle model and additional services like water pump replacement.
2. How long does timing belt replacement take?
Most replacements take 3-6 hours, depending on engine accessibility and complexity.
3. What’s the difference between timing belt and timing chain?
Timing belts require replacement at intervals, while timing chains typically last the engine’s life but may need service.
4. Can I drive with a broken timing belt?
No, driving with a broken timing belt will cause immediate engine damage in interference engines.
5. Do you replace the water pump with the timing belt?
We strongly recommend it since the water pump is often timing-belt driven and labor overlaps.
6. What happens if timing belt replacement is delayed?
Risk of belt failure increases, potentially causing catastrophic engine damage requiring complete rebuild or replacement.
7. Do you provide warranty on timing belt replacement?
Yes, we provide warranty on both parts and labor for all timing belt replacements.
