Question is it time to have the timing belt changed, we brought the car in for 60000 check up and service and this is what is recommended. thank you- brian
Answer Brian,
Since you only have 65K on the car mileage wise it's possible is not ready for the belt, but time depending on what year the car is it might be ready. I usually recommend t/belts not go over 5 years. If the belt breaks it will casue major damage. So play it safe consider the belts age.
