Common Auto Maintenance Services, Explained at Carr Chevrolet: Drive Belt Replacement

When you bring your vehicle to the Carr Chevy service center for regular maintenance, like an oil change, we'll also visually inspect many components of the engine. This includes evaluating the condition of the drive belts. A drive belt under your hood delivers power from the engine to accessories like the air conditioner, power steering pump, alternator and more. If this belt fails, the accessories it's connected to will stop working. If your power steering or air conditioner has suddenly gone out, it just might be a failed drive belt. Stop by Carr Chevrolet for a replacement service - or, just trust the certified Chevrolet experts at Carr Chevy for all your maintenance needs and we'll keep a close eye on your drive belts, replacing them before they fail.

How Long Should A Drive Belt Last?

Different vehicles have different drive belts, and they're rated for different lifespans. Check your owner's manual for a recommended service interval provided by the manufacturer. For example, the drive belt inside the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is rated to last up to 150,000 miles or 10 years before needing to be replaced. Drive belts more common in older models may need to be replaced every 50,000 miles or sooner, so let our maintenance team inspect your belts and replace them if they determine they're approaching the end of their service life.
