Frequently Asked Questions About Timing Belt & Chain Replacement
How much does timing belt or chain replacement cost in Fort Worth, TX?
The cost depends on your vehicle. On average, a timing belt replacement costs $500–$1,000, while a timing chain replacement may run $1,000–$2,500+ due to labor intensity. At Kincaid’s, we’ll give you a precise, upfront estimate before any work begins.
How often should I replace my timing belt?
Most manufacturers recommend replacing the timing belt every 60,000–100,000 miles. Timing chains generally last longer but may still require replacement after 100,000 miles or more.
What happens if my timing belt breaks?
If the belt snaps, it can cause severe engine damage, often requiring a full rebuild or replacement. That’s why replacement at the recommended interval is so important.
Do you replace the water pump during timing belt service?
In many cases, yes. Since the water pump is often driven by the belt, replacing it at the same time can save you money on future labor costs.
