Timing belt inspection and replacement to prevent engine damage.

The Toyota-specific note: Most Toyotas now use timing chains. Older Avalon, Camry V6, Sienna, and 4Runner 1GR-FE engines still use chain or belt. We follow the 90K/100K interval per OEM.

What we check during a Timing Belt Service visit

• Replacement of belt, tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump as a kit
• Cam and crank seal inspection; replaced if any seepage
• Coolant flush after water-pump replacement
• Crank pulley harmonic-balancer condition check (often overlooked)
