EXPERT TIMING CHAIN KIT REPLACEMENT

Timing chains don’t always have fixed replacement intervals, but when they begin to wear, stretch or fail, they can quickly cause running issues, rattling noises, poor performance and expensive internal engine damage. These problems are often gradual at first, but once symptoms appear, the chain can deteriorate rapidly and lead to breakdowns, misfires or incorrect timing.

At Midland Autocare, we diagnose timing chain faults using specialist tools and proven procedures, ensuring the timing system is inspected accurately before any work begins. We provide full timing chain kit replacement for cars and vans, including chain, guides, tensioners and seals, restoring smooth operation, proper timing and long-term reliability — helping prevent far more serious engine failures.

What our customers are saying

Yesterday was the first time of taking my car to this garage and I was pleased with how fast they did the mot, within 3 hours it was done regardless of other cars being in on the same day as mine. Excellent service and they even helped me with my problem of putting new batteries in both of my key fobs as i was struggling to do them myself due to it being very tricky to remove the casing, I will definately be using them in the future.

Great service kept me informed all the way through. Took van in with misfire. They told me at each stage what was needed, after testing injectors found they were all not very good. They showed me the reports and explained why they all needed to be replaced. My bill was high but this was down to the parts and not the labour. Would use again. Thank you for getting Van up and running Quickly. Thanks you.
