Belt & Hose Replacement

Among all the equipment in your vehicle, belts and hoses have the shortest lifespan. These components often crack, leak, or fray due to their constant exposure to heat, vibration, and other harmful chemicals. If not promptly replaced and maintained, it could spell disaster for your vehicle’s performance.

Belt and hose evaluations based solely on their appearance are not enough. Boswells Auto Repair Shop, we recommend diligent inspection, and are here to do it. After the inspection, our ASE-certified technicians will let know you if you need a belts and hoses replacement.
