Cambelt and timing chain specialists in Newbury
You may be surprised to know that cambelts and timing chains are not checked as part of an MOT. Consequently, advice on whether you need a change in cambelt or a replacement of timing chain would not be included in this test. So it is a great idea to get your cambelt and timing chain checked by a reputable garage.
Our team of qualified specialist mechanics located near Newbury can assist with all cambelt and timing chain related questions and concerns.
We have vast experience of cambelt and timing chain replacements across all vehicle makes and models including Audi, BMW, Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Ford (including Transit), Citroen and Peugeot to name a few.
From a technical perspective, the cambelt and timing chain exists to keep one half of the engine synchronised with the other half of the engine. It provides a synchronisation with the crankshaft’s rotation to ensure that the valves of the engine open and shut at correctly timed intervals.
Some vehicles will have a timing chain and others have a cambelt. Either way the function is the same but where they are located differs. Timing chains are located within the engine housing itself but cambelts are situated outside of the engine.

Costs for changing a cambelt or timing chain will depend on the vehicle in question. Do contact us with details of your vehicle and we will be more than happy to quote.
On average, a cambelt’s life can be anything between 4 to 6 years or 40,000 – 100,000 miles. Your car’s handbook should give details on advised replacement intervals. However if you are not sure, please get in touch and we will do our best to advise.
You may notice a strange noise coming from the engine. You may also experience a lack of power or reduced acceleration.
Replacement of a cambelt or timing chain can take anywhere between 3 and 6 hours. You should plan for your car to be with us for an entire day but should we finish earlier than planned we will of course let you know.
It is always best to replace a cambelt. In some situations a timing chain can be adjusted to extend its life however cost implications should be assessed. If nearing the end of its life anyway, it would be more sensible and cost-effective to replace.
We can help with any cambelt or timing chain issues, covering addresses in Newbury and the surrounding area. We are located in Basingstoke but offer our services to surrounding areas including Newbury, Alton and Hook
