How Important are Your Drive Belts? | The Brake Shop

Your drive belts run everything - your AC, power steering, alternator, and water pump are all dependent on the belts that turn them. At The Brake Shop in Mesa, our goal is to keep your truck maintained, so you’re never stuck out on the road. Drive belts are a critical part of that goal.


Drive belts wear, stretch, and dry-rot over time, particularly on trucks that spend a lot of time with the engine running. As a result, a neglected belt can slip off or break, leaving your truck immobilized; you will lose power steering, the truck will overheat, and the battery will fail to charge, none of which will make your job any easier. Fortunately, faulty belts are simple to diagnose and easy to replace. A few minutes of your time will save you hours and dollars in downtime and costly roadside repair bills.


If your belts are squeaking or slipping, or haven’t been replaced in a while, it’s definitely time to have them inspected. Our technicians can tell right away if one needs to be replaced and have you reliably back on the road in no time.



No matter your truck repair or maintenance needs, our professional technicians have the equipment and knowledge necessary to get the job done. For the best fleet truck service shop in Mesa, call or stop by The Brake Shop today.
