How Will I Know It’s Time For A Fan / Serpentine Belt Replacement?
Your fan belt and serpentine belt are responsible for assisting the water pump, power steering, alternator and air conditioning unit. If you find your engine is overheating, if warning lights illuminate on your dash, or you smell or see steam, you might need a fan belt replacement. Because your serpentine belts snakes around many different elements of your car, if you lose this belt you often lose all of these functions as well.
If you think you might be in need of a fan belt replacement or serpentine beat replacement, make an appointment at Uncle Al’s Automotive Services. Our expert mechanics can thoroughly inspect the condition of your fan belts.
