Serpentine Fan Belts

Serpentine belts (also called Poly-Rib belts) reduce the number of belts required to drive your car accessories. Accessories include the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. These serpentine rubber belts eventually break down due to heat, cold, and friction, and need to be replaced when worn. The recommended replacement interval is usually 3-4 years, but belts should be inspected for wear and replaced when necessary.

PRO OIL CHANGE technicians:

• visually inspect the serpentine belt
• remove the old belt
• replace with a new, warranty approved belt
• inspect the new belt while the car is in operation
