What are drive belts all about?

The drive belts are connected to the crankshaft (a part of the engine), as well as to the alternator, air conditioning, and power steering system. The belts are responsible for transferring power from the crankshaft to these other systems. Over time, and especially if multiple systems that put stress on the belts are being used, the belts can grow loose, or unaligned. When this happens the belts will need to be adjusted so that they can return to their normal, optimal position.

Keep in mind:

  • If the drive belt is at all frayed or cracked it should be replaced instead of adjusted.
  • When the drive belt is adjusted, the drive belt tensioner and idler pulley should both be inspected.

How it's done:

  • Adjust the drive belts

Our recommendation:

Your drive belts should always be checked during tuneups and maintenance. During any kind of servicing your drive belts should be checked to see if they need to be replaced or adjusted.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to adjust the drive belts?

  • Squealing noise from the engine

How important is this service?

Your alternator, power steering, and air conditioning are all powered by your drive belt. The belt is connected to the crankshaft, and transfers power to these systems. As the belt is used and wears, it can grow lose, or begin to become unaligned. If the drive belt becomes loose, it won’t move as efficiently, and it won’t transfer power as efficiently. If the belt becomes unaligned, it can come into contact with parts of the engine, which can cause damage.

BMW M3 L6-3.0L - Oil Change - Newark, California
Robert was amazing. Really communicative and efficient. He is also great to chat with on a personal level. He worked on my 1995 BMW m3 for a routine oil and spark plug change and demonstrated his advance knowledge working on European cars. You can tell he is very experienced. I definitely recommend him and look forward to working with him in the future.

BMW M3 V8-4.0L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Raleigh, North Carolina
Joseph, in short, did a terrific job. I was looking at buying a car out of state and needed someone I can trust to do a pre-purchase inspection. We talked on the phone before the inspection about what in particular I was looking to learn, and then also during and after the inspection. In short, this was way more availability than I expected for a contractor I found through a website I'd never used before. He did a very diligent job taking pictures, listening to the car, and developing a relationship with the owner. I would absolutely recommend using him for a pre-purchase inspection again.

BMW M3 V8-4.0L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Burlingame, California
Edgar was very vague in his description of "exhaust noise" so I still can't pinpoint it at the gasket, headers, catalytic converter, etc. Also the report was too vague in assessments, using words like "OK" everywhere. There weren't many specific notes I could use for selling the car. The pictures I asked him to take of the car were also poor and limited in numbers - I had to go back and do that myself.
