Serpentine Belt

The serpentine belt is powered by the engine as it turns. Your alternator, air conditioning compressor and power steering pump depend on your serpentine belt to run. On most vehicles it also runs the water pump, radiator fan and power brakes on some.

If your serpentine belt breaks, your battery won't last long. If it runs your fan or water pump, your engine could overheat before your battery dies. Steering and braking would also be affected. Hopefully, we've made a good case for replacing your vehicle's serpentine belt when it's worn out.

Your owner's manual will advise you when to replace your serpentine belt. Your friendly and knowledgeable Service Advisor at Winners Circle Tire and Auto can inspect the belt as well, to see if it should be replaced.

A worn belt can cause problems even before it breaks. It can slip out of place and put undue stress on the accessories it runs.

There's a tensioner pulley on your engine that puts pressure on the belt to keep it at the right tension. Since the spring on the tensioner wears out like any other part, Winners Circle Tire and Auto recommends checking the tensioner and pulleys when you switch out the serpentine belt.

Replacing your serpentine belt on schedule could save you from a dangerous breakdown.
