Belts & Hoses

While the belts and hoses within your vehicle may seem inconspicuous, they play a vital role in powering virtually every aspect of your automobile. Hoses are responsible for delivering hydraulic pressure to critical components, such as brakes, while belts facilitate the transfer of energy from the crankshaft to various moving parts essential for starting, steering, heating, cooling, and maintaining the proper operation of your engine. It’s important to note that even a minor issue like a leaky hose or a loose belt can have a noticeable impact on the performance of the affected component, and in more severe cases, a broken belt or hose can result in your vehicle becoming inoperative.

If you observe any signs of damage to your belts and hoses, we encourage you to visit Calgary Auto Care promptly.

  • Serpentine belt and other drive belts: Powers your alternator, climate control, and power steering with energy from the crankshaft.
  • Timing belt or timing chain: Helps turn the camshaft of your engine, coordinating the rhythm of your engine valves and pistons. Also known as a gilmer belt or camshaft belt.
  • Other automotive belts: Alternator belt, fan belt, power steering belt, A/C belt, and more. These belts work with your serpentine belt to drive their respective parts.
