The timing belt in your engine controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. Orland Park motorists need to replace it on a schedule to avoid failure.
Timing belts are very challenging to get to, requiring quite a bit of labor to access. Timing belt replacement is one of the more pricey maintenance services, but the cost to repair an engine damaged by a broken timing belt is much, much more.
