THE IMPORTANCE OF HOSE AND BELT REPAIRS
As part of the many automotive services we provide, the team of professionals here at Auto Clinic of Franklin will inspect the various belts and hoses in your car or truck and determine if any hose and belt repairs are needed. The belts in your vehicle are responsible for providing and transforming mechanical energy to the many important systems in your vehicle. The serpentine belts are designed to generate power to a wide range of vehicle systems including, but not limited to, the alternator, the AC system and compressor, and the power steering system. Each one operates properly as a result of the belts functioning properly.
Your radiator and heater hoses, which are made of rubber, help keep your vehicle’s engine from overheating. Over time, when the rubber is exposed to excessive friction and heat it will harden and become brittle and weakened. These rubber hoses can split resulting in a leak, and can snap over time. If a belt does snap, your vehicle can no longer run. If a hose splits your vehicle engine can overheat and can result in tremendous damage to the vehicle. With that said, the dedicated team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have your belts and hoses checked routinely.
ASSESSING THE DAMAGE
Assessing the damage caused to hoses and belts cannot be easily done by simply viewing the components since the damage more than likely was sourced from the inside. If damage is easily visible, then you know that you are in need of hose and belt repairs. To inspect the integrity of the rubbers belts and hoses you can actually attempt to use your fingers and pinch them. If the rubber is brittle, has a stiffness to it, or is soft and squishy, then its more than likely time to replace them.
Most vehicle owners are guilty of neglecting the health of their belts and hoses by not having them checked regularly. The problem with this, is that if belts and hoses are worn down and are not replaced in a timely fashion, they can actually cause more serious and costly damage to your vehicle’s engine.
