Your vehicle’s belts and hoses operate under constant heat, pressure, and vibration. Over time, rubber materials degrade, leading to cracks, leaks, or complete failure. A single worn belt or ruptured hose can disable your alternator, water pump, or power steering — or cause overheating that leads to major engine damage.

At The Garage MKG, we visually and physically inspect every belt and hose during your Complete Vehicle Health Report, looking for:

• Cracks, fraying, or glazing on serpentine belts
• Leaks or bulges in coolant and heater hoses
• Soft spots or stiffness indicating internal wear
• Coolant residue or dried deposits at hose connections

Catching these early saves you time, money, and stress.

We replace belts and hoses using only OEM-grade materials that match your vehicle’s exact specifications for fit and durability. Our technicians follow manufacturer torque procedures, tension settings, and routing diagrams to ensure proper alignment and noise-free operation.

Our belt and hose service includes:

• Serpentine and accessory drive belt replacement
• Tensioner and pulley inspection
• Coolant and heater hose replacement
• Clamp, fitting, and connector inspection
• Pressure testing after installation

We confirm that every system is sealed, tensioned, and operating within spec before returning your vehicle.

Belt and hose failure often gives subtle warning signs long before it happens — a faint squeal, visible wear, or coolant seepage. During every inspection, we document these details in your Digital Vehicle Health Report with photos and technician notes, so you can decide when to service.

Regular replacement according to condition — not arbitrary mileage — ensures reliability without unnecessary expense.
