Belts and Hoses

If you look under the car's hood, you'll see your engine and a bunch of belts and hoses running around it. Automotive belts and hoses play important roles in the functioning of your car and are often overlooked until they break or there's a leak. If you need new hoses or belts for your vehicle, visit a Heartland Tire store near you today!

Why Are Car Belts Important?

Your vehicle uses one or more belts connected to your engine to power the different systems of your vehicle. 

• • Timing Belt: Older vehicles use a timing belt instead of a timing chain. Some new vehicles still use a timing belt which is essential to your engine powering the other components of your vehicle.
• • Serpentine Belt: Most new vehicles use a serpentine belt that moves around all the different pulleys and powering components like the compressor, alternator, water pump, and more.
• • V-Belt: Older engines use various v-belts to power the different components - as opposed to a single serpentine belt to power all.

Why Are Car Hoses Important?

Your vehicle has complex systems that perform essential functions with the help of automotive fluids. Fluids must be carried around the engine through specialized hoses that can withstand heat, pressure, and more. If your hoses were to leak or tear, vital operations of your vehicle would stop working, and you could risk damage.
