Belts

Your Toyota vehicle consists of many belts. Checking them should be a part of your regular maintenance routine as they are really important parts of your vehicle. When you hear a squealing or screeching sound from under the hood, do not take it lightly. This may mean that one of the belts on your drive train is loose or damaged. If an old belt breaks or slips, it could leave you without any power to drive your vehicle. The belts transport power to many systems under the hood of your car, including the alternator, power steering and A/C. Belts snake through your engine through multiple accessories. You can do a visual inspection of your belts to see if they have wear and tear building up. If your belts look heavily cracked or the groove depth becomes too shallow, they should be replaced so they don't break and leave your waiting for service on the side of the road. It is not recommended to drive your vehicle with a broken belt. Doing so can cause extensive damage to the engine. To buy replacement belts, look through our vast stock of OEM Toyota belts for your car and have them shipped directly to you.
