The vehicle owner had been to a dealership and was told the valve cover gaskets were leaking. She wanted a 2nd opinion and asked the shop to verify, check and advise.
The technician at our Lake Wales shop did a courtesy evaluation as a 2nd opinion. It found the valve cover gasket(s) leaking, which was noted as a reason for concern, but that repair was not done on this visit. The evaluation also found the drive belt had no service history and was overdue by 79,283 miles, flagged as a safety concern. The team performed the drive belt service, which included removing and replacing components as required to access and install materials.

Answered by our technicians serving Lake Wales.
There isn't one honest number that covers every vehicle. Manufacturers publish an interval, but heat, load, and where the vehicle spends its life matter more than the odometer. We check belt condition at every service and tell you what we actually see.
No. The serpentine belt runs on the outside of the engine and drives accessories like the alternator and AC compressor. The timing belt sits behind a cover and keeps internal engine parts synchronized. Replacing one doesn't touch the other, and they fail in completely different ways.
Usually for a little while, but a squeal means the belt is already slipping, and a slipping belt isn't charging or cooling at full strength. It's an inexpensive thing to handle before it turns into a tow.
Not always. They get checked every time, because they're right there with the belt off and because a bad one will chew up a new belt. If they spin smooth and quiet and the tensioner holds proper tension, we leave them alone and tell you they're fine.
You lose charging, AC, and on most vehicles power steering right away. If that belt also drives the water pump, the engine starts overheating within minutes. Pull over somewhere safe instead of trying to make it a few more miles.
