Timing Belt Replacement
A snapped timing belt can destroy an engine. Replacing it on schedule is one of the smartest maintenance dollars you will spend.
Quick answer
When should a timing belt be replaced?
Most timing belts need replacement every 60,000 to 105,000 miles, check your manufacturer's interval. On an interference engine, a failed belt can bend valves and ruin the engine, so this is not a maintenance item to skip. We replace the water pump and tensioner at the same time to save you labor later.

What customers say
“They make you feel like a favorite customer. Professional, and they went beyond the oil change — vacuumed the interior and left a handwritten thank-you note.”

“I had to get an oil change before a last-minute trip, and when my regular place couldn’t squeeze me in, I decided to give Chapman a try. I am so glad I did! They got me in right away, and the entire experience was fantastic. Their customer service was noticeably superior to any other shop I’ve been to—the communication was top-notch, and they made everything incredibly easy from start to finish. You can really tell they value your patronage. Chapman has definitely earned my future business!”

“Our brakes went out suddenly while we were in town and Chapman's took care of us! We requested some extra work while we were there, which included ordering some specialty parts. They were as fast as they could have been when squeezing us in last minute, and courteous as the day is long. Excellent customer service, keeping us as up to date as possible, not doing work until we approved it, and providing a loaner as we are not local and our truck is our only transport. Our truck is now in tip top shape and worthy to pull our rig again. Highly recommend this shop! Thank you Chapman's!”

Frequently asked questions
On an interference engine, the valves and pistons collide, often destroying the engine. That is why replacing on interval is critical.
Yes, on most engines the water pump is driven by the timing belt, so doing both at once saves significant labor down the road.
