Kia Timing Belt Service serving Beverly, MA
Beverly is approximately 22 minutes from our Stoneham shop on Pine Street. We see customers from Beverly, Salem, Danvers, Peabody, Wenham, and the wider Essex County area every week. Most Beverly driving runs through Cabot Street, Rantoul Street, and Route 128 Exit 38, which shapes the wear pattern on the vehicles we service.
Beverly has a heavy share of older luxury SUVs (Lexus RX, BMW X5, Audi Q5). We stock OEM-spec ZF 8HP transmission fluid for the inevitable mid-life service on those vehicles.
