Without belts and hoses, your car's engine couldn't function. Here is why Automattox encourages Appomattox drivers to pay attention to their vehicle's hoses and belts.
What Belts Do
The camshaft and crankshaft drive all of an engine's internal components. Without a belt to keep the two shafts rotating in unison, your engine won't run right. When you turn on the AC or make a turn, a belt is at work driving the AC compressor and power steering pump.
Why Hoses Matter
Hoses are a vehicle's circulatory system
fuel and coolant flow to the engine via hoses. During stopping and slowing, hoses distribute brake fluid to the brake calipers. Hoses assist in maintaining a comfortable interior temperature.
Have Your Belts And Hoses Checked
A routine inspection of belts and hoses gives you an early warning that they will fail. A broken belt or ruptured hose can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to your car.
