Automotive Tips from Long Hill Auto Service: Serpentine Belt Tensioner

Posted July 27, 2016 7:20 AM

The serpentine belt tensioner applies pressure to the serpentine belt, maintaining optimal tension to drive the accessories like the alternator and A/C compressor. At Long Hill Auto Service we know that the service life of the belt tensioner is the same as the belt itself, so they should always be replaced together. A worn tensioner prevents the accessories from spinning properly, leading to premature wear and noise for Millington drivers.

Your vehicle manufacturer has a recommended mileage interval for serpentine belt replacement. A complete accessory drive system service replaces the serpentine belt, the belt tensioner and any idler pulleys your car might have. Your friendly and professional Long Hill Auto Service service advisor can inspect your system and let you know if it’s time for a replacement.

Give us a call.

Reviews

Heard great things about Long Hill Auto and tried them out today to have my AC recharged. I went in knowing I needed brakes and front tires. I met Bob (owner) and he said “We’ll start on your car right away but we want to keep it a bit longer to look at the car front to back since it’s your first time here.” He called a few hours later to say “We’re all done but you’ll need front tires & brakes soon…everything looks OK”… Their price was half that of the dealer and their service was incredible. I’m a new (long term) customer.
