Belts & Hoses
Belts and hoses are extremely important to your vehicle. If they fail, your vehicle could break down. To help prevent this, make sure your belts and hoses are checked at regular intervals. An easy way to remember is to have them checked every 3,000 miles or with every oil change at your Gemini Automotive Care Provider.
During a belt inspection, technicians at Gemini Automotive Care facilities check each belt for:
- Glazing, cracking, peeling and softening
- Proper tensioning
- Proper drive pulley alignment
During a hose inspection, technicians at Gemini Automotive Care facilities:
- Check for leaks
- Check for hardening, cracking and softening
- Perform a cooling system pressure test to help check for leaks
