What is a Drive Belt?

A drive belt or serpentine belt is a long belt made of rubber or synthetic material that increases its durability. It is called a serpentine belt because of the way that it snakes between the components of your car to carry power to them. Without a functioning drive belt, your car will not be drivable and will most likely need to be towed.

How often do I need to replace my drive belt?

Advances in modern materials have made serpentine belts more durable. They now last much longer than other frequently replaced components like brake pads or oil filters. Drive belts only need to be replaced every 60,000 -100,000 miles. But, that’s a wide range, so here are a few things you can look out for:

• Squealing noises from under the hood
• Power steering that stops working
• Malfunctioning air conditioner system.

In order to prevent these issues, make sure to have your drive belt inspected during each service visit.
