Book a cambelt change

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.
We’re friendly, straightforward and jargon-free

Book a diagnostic

A mechanic will check your car for faults and talk you through any repairs you might need. There are various ways to check for faults, which could include a physical examination or plugging in to check your car’s onboard engine management system.

We’ll look for any mechanical or electrical problems. If we need to, we’ll also check your car’s onboard engine management system. Depending on your car and issue, this will usually include: – Engine – Power steering – Brakes – Transmission – Exhaust system – Fuel injection system – Cooling system and air flow – Sensors

And it’s not just cambelt changes that we do for your Renault
