Belts & Hoses at Lube and Latte

Your vehicle relies on two primary belts to function properly: the timing belt and the serpentine (or drive) belt.

The timing belt keeps your engine running by syncing the camshaft and crankshaft—if it fails, your engine stops instantly. The serpentine belt powers key systems like your radiator, alternator, A/C compressor, and power steering pump.

Hoses are just as critical. From fuel and brake lines to radiator, heater, and power steering hoses, each one helps transport fluids that keep your vehicle running safely and efficiently. Worn hoses can lead to overheating, loss of power, reduced braking, and other performance issues.

Signs it’s time to replace belts or hoses include:

• Steam coming from the engine

• Air conditioning stops working

• A catching, slipping, or vibrating feeling while driving

• Warning lights appear on the dashboard

• Fluid leaks (coolant, brake fluid, fuel, etc.)

Our technicians use professional equipment to inspect for leaks, wear, and damage. If you need a belt or hose replacement, we’ll get it done with precision and care.
