Help > Car Servicing > Does a full service include a timing belt check?
A full service does not typically include a detailed timing belt inspection as standard. However, mechanics may visually assess the timing belt’s condition if it’s accessible.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing the timing belt at a set interval, often between 40,000 to 100,000 miles or after a certain number of years.
Failing to replace a worn timing belt can lead to serious engine damage, so it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
If you're unsure about your timing belt’s condition or replacement schedule, ask your mechanic during your full service – they can advise if an inspection or replacement is necessary.
