Timing Belt & Timing Chain Specialists in Manchester
Timing systems are one of the most critical components of any engine. When they fail, the result is often catastrophic engine damage.
Manchester Mechanic specialises in timing belt and timing chain replacement for modern and high-risk engines, including vehicles other garages refuse to work on.
Timing Belts vs Timing Chains
Timing belts require replacement at specific mileage or age intervals.
Timing chains are not lifetime components — wear, stretch, and tensioner failure are common on modern engines.
Both systems require precise alignment, correct tooling, and experience. Errors can destroy an engine.
