Belts and Hoses

Belts and hoses are two components in your vehicle that serve different purposes but are equally important in the operation of parts under the hood of your vehicle. Checking the condition of belts and hoses is a good habit to get into so you are able to catch problems sooner versus later. There are signs you can look out for so you know when to replace the belts under your car. You can take a look at them and check for any signs of wear and tear, like notches or ribs of the belt starting to pull apart. If you hear any loud squealing noises coming from the belt areas, these should signal you to a potential problem as well. You can inspect the hoses under the hood of your vehicle as well to see if there are any cracks in the material. The hoses should feel firm and pliable without any soft spots. You might notice leaking coolant under your vehicle as well, which would be a sign of a hole in the hose. Belts help to run different engine parts and deliver power, whereas hoses help to transport fluids. Find OEM car belts and hoses for a range of models here on our webstore.
