About Gary J. Meyer II
Expertise
The types of questions I can answer would be related to Honda automobile diagnosis and repair procedures. I can't diagnose every car via email because some tests just require a good old fashion road test.

Experience
I am a Honda automobile technician with twenty years of new car dealership experience. My first few years as a Honda tech date back to when Honda cars were still offered in carburated models. In the last few years, I've been exposed to the integration of hybrid powered cars, the Natural Gas powered GX Civic, and electronic features ranging from voice activated GPS navigation to power sliding doors. I have been certified as an ASE Master Technician and passed the L1 Advanced Engine Performance test in 2000. I opened my own independent import repair shop specializing in but not limited to Honda automobiles in 2008. Operating my own shop has re-energized my enthusiasm for automobiles.

Honda - Honda Timing Belt

Expert: Gary J. Meyer II - 11/5/2009

Question
I recently got my 2002 Honda Accord timing belt replaced. I've noticed a minor "hissing" noise that seems to be coming from the area of the timing belt. It's not always constant but enough that I've had some concern with it. Is this something that I should be concerned with and take back to the garage?

Answer
If the car is a four cylinder engine the timing belt tensioner may be adjusted too tight. It's also possible that one of the timing covers it rubbing the crankshaft pulley or a drive belt. Either way, if it is a noise that was not there before the repairs, I'd let the shop listen to the noise.
