A broken timing belt can destroy an interference engine in an instant. Scott's Auto & Clutch provides timing belt replacement at manufacturer-recommended intervals. We'll inspect the full belt system and discuss what makes sense to address at the same time—since the labor overlap makes some components economical to do together.
Every repair starts with a thorough diagnosis. We identify exactly what your vehicle needs, walk you through our findings, and get your approval before any work begins. Depending on what we find, the types of work we commonly perform include:

Most timing belts need replacement every 60,000–100,000 miles depending on the manufacturer. Check your owner's manual or ask us.
A worn or cracked timing belt can create a ticking noise from the engine area.
A broken timing belt prevents the engine from running. If your engine cranks but won't start and has a timing belt, this is a likely cause.
Our shop in South Salt Lake is centrally located in the valley — most customers are within 15 minutes. We service drivers from throughout the greater Salt Lake area.
Most manufacturers recommend replacement between 60,000–105,000 miles depending on the engine. Check your owner's manual for the exact interval. Do not wait until it breaks—on interference engines, a broken belt can destroy the engine instantly.
We recommend replacing the tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump at the same time. These components have the same service life and are already exposed during the job. Doing them together saves $300–$500 in future labor.
Timing belt replacement typically costs $500–$1,200 including the belt, tensioner, pulleys, and labor. Adding the water pump is an additional $150–$300 in parts. We provide a complete quote before starting.
