At Kic Garage, we check your Fiat 500 cambelt in Willaston as part of your regular service and maintenance check-up. We want to know and you want to know that there are no signs of wear. If you have a high mileage Fiat and the cambelt has never been replaced, then don’t wait another day for us to check it. Average replacement should be between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. That doesn’t mean cambelts don’t break before that or that the wear isn’t already showing at 50,000 miles. Cambelt replacement is time-critical because if it’s not working smoothly it can be causing other parts to fail. If the belt breaks, your car will not run at all. You’ll have to pay for a tow to get your car off the road and into a shop.
If you break down on the roadway, call us and we will come and tow your Fiat back to our garage. For owners in Willaston, Fiat 500 cambelt replacement should be carried out by professionals. Our techs are well versed in Fiat 500 autos and the necessity to get it just right is critical to the performance of your vehicle and the protection of other engine parts. So often when a cambelt breaks, the replacement is accompanied by other, associated repairs. Cambelt replacement is already a somewhat expensive part replacement. Some of that expense is due to the difficulty of access. Other parts need to be removed before the cambelt is easily accessed and they then have to be replaced. In some circumstances, additional new parts may be needed.
There is no trick to maintaining the Fiat 500 cambelt in Willaston on your vehicle. Contact us and schedule a full service every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. As part of that service, we’ll check the condition of your cambelt. If it shows wear, we’ll get it switched out with a new one before more damage occurs and it breaks. Continuing to drive with a damaged cam belt can result in complete engine failure. We maintain a stock of the most frequently used parts so we can make quick efficient repairs and have you back on the road quickly.
