About Timing Belt Replacement

BulletIcon
Critical to the operation of your vehicle, the timing belt synchs the operations of the camshaft and the crankshaft so that the valves operate efficiently and safely. Older cars may have a timing chain, similar to a chain on a motorcycle, with a life cycle of around 60,000 miles. Newer models use timing belts made of polyurethane and Kevlar for long life and durability. They can go as long as 100,000 miles although it’s always a good idea to change it before then. Belt failure can cause extensive damage to the valves, pistons and other internal parts of the engine. The cost of changing the timing belt is a bargain when you consider the cost to replace the entire engine. Start thinking about changing the timing belt once you cross the 90,000-mile threshold. Check your owner’s manual for details.

2009 Maxima Timing Belt Replacement Q&A

Nissan Dealership Repair Options

After leasing or buying a new Nissan, it’s recommended to have repairs handled by authorized Nissan dealerships. Consider them your first point of contact for proper care, maintenance and repairs since they will always have the latest information including the latest service bulletins and recall notices as issued by the manufacturer.

In the case of a leased vehicle, many lease contracts, including those from Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, will require the use of original equipment parts when it comes to making the vehicle whole again.

Nissan utilizes advanced steels including Super High Formability Steel (SHF) in the construction of their unibodies. As the Nissan vehicle lineup evolves, it is almost a certainty that body parts will become more specialized and result in special handling on the part of collision repair outlets. Seek out a Nissan Certified Collision Repair specialist for repair work.

Training

Nissan-certified repair mechanics have received factory training on the latest tools and techniques and are required to take periodic certification tests in order. These shops also receive technical service bulletins to regularly update Nissan dealers with the latest information for repairing your Nissan vehicle.

Loan car policy

Certain Nissan dealers may offer loaner vehicles for their service customers although this is not a normal practice. We suggest calling ahead to avoid any disappointment. If your Nissan car, truck or SUV is in for collision repair, the extended use of a loaner or rental vehicle may be covered by an insurance policy rider.

Collision repairs

The Nissan Certified Collision Repair program ensures that dealership-owned repair facilities have the proper training, tools, equipment and facilities needed to repair Nissan vehicles that were involved in collisions. All authorized collision facilities feature I-CAR Gold Class Certification standards.

By selecting a Nissan Certified Collision Repair Center shop, owners can be assured their vehicles will be repaired as closely as possible to the standards their Nissan vehicles achieved when they were new.
