What this service includes
A brief rattle when you first start the engine is often the tensioner bleeding down overnight. Ignored, a stretched chain jumps time and the repair gets far more expensive.
Chain work is deep-in-the-engine labor, so we verify with scan data and inspection first and give you a full written estimate before starting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do timing chains need replacing?
- Not on a schedule like a belt, but guides and tensioners do wear. High mileage and skipped oil changes speed that up considerably.
- What does a stretched chain sound like?
- A metallic rattle for a second or two on cold start, sometimes with a rough idle or timing-related trouble codes.
