The cambelt, or timing belt, keeps your engine's valves and pistons working in sync. Over time, the cambelt wears down and can snap, which could cause engine damage. We recommend that you replace your cambelt in line with your manufacturer service schedule.

Any work done will meet the high standards set by the RAC.

Exceptional customer service

We’re friendly, straightforward and jargon-free
