Toyota OEM Timing Belts

Even the most reliable engines need routine care to stay in top condition. Some parts are out of sight but play a key role every time you turn the key. That’s the case with timing belts, which affect your engine’s entire rhythm and function. At Brantford Toyota, we supply genuine Toyota replacements designed to last longer and work better than anything aftermarket.

Understand what your timing belt does

The timing belt connects the camshaft and crankshaft, ensuring valves open and close in sync with the pistons. It keeps combustion timed correctly, helping your engine run smoothly. When the belt wears out, it can throw off the timing, cause performance issues, or even damage the engine. It’s a critical piece of the engine system that should never be ignored.

Know the signs of wear and when to replace it

Most timing belts last between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, but exposure to heat, oil leaks, and age can cause earlier failure. Cracking, squealing noises, or engine misfires may point to belt problems. Popular Toyota models like the Avalon and Tacoma rely on precision parts, and a failed timing belt can mean a costly repair. That’s why it’s worth sticking to genuine Toyota parts over generic alternatives.

Replace this part at the same time

If you’re changing your timing belt, it’s smart to replace the timing cover as well. A damaged or worn cover can allow debris or oil to reach the belt and shorten its lifespan. Keeping both parts in good shape helps prevent more serious issues down the road.

At Brantford Toyota, we offer original Toyota timing belts and components to keep your car running right. Don't take chances with parts that weren’t made for your model. Choose the factory-fit solution built to match your vehicle.
