Get an estimate from Motest backed by a 'No Quibble' warranty

We check to confirm the vehicle is due a cambelt replacement, based on mileage and/or age, then estimate for the correct replacement cambelt kit (including water pump where fitted) and associated tensioners and bearings. The estimated price will be held assuming no extra work or parts are required. We will fit Motaquip parts, unless declined and their fitment automatically qualifies for the warranty.

Why a cambelt change at the correct time is critical

The timing belt is the component that keeps all of the engine parts in sync, When it fails pistons and valves can crash together resulting in significant damage. including even destroying the engine.

Replacement is dependent on the make & model and will be after a set number of years or miles. They will normally need to be replaced more than once over the cars lifetime

Why we change the water pump if driven by the cambelt

Your timing belt can also drive your water pump. It is, therefore, good practice to always replace both components at the same time for two reasons – a worn belt can cause damage to a water pump and if a pump has to be replaced later on, the belt has to be removed again with all the associated cost.

How the warranty works

Once MOTEST have carried out the work (using Motaquip parts), you will then qualify for a ‘no quibble warranty’ as stated on your invoice. If there are any claims within the terms of the warranty, we will replace the timing belt kit, water pump (where fitted) and any associated damaged components/engine damage.

1. General terms and conditions relating to the ‘We Fit – You Forget’ Warranty offer:
