Why Belts and Hoses Are Important
The serpentine belt powers key engine systems — including your alternator, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and power steering pump. The radiator and heater hoses circulate coolant through the engine and heater core to maintain safe operating temperatures.
Over time, Texas heat, constant vibration, and everyday wear can cause belts to crack, fray, or stretch — and hoses to swell, split, or leak. A failed belt or hose can lead to overheating, electrical loss, or total engine shutdown.
Keeping these components maintained helps avoid costly repairs and roadside breakdowns — especially during hot Texas summers.
Common Signs Your Belts or Hoses Need Service
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to schedule a visit to Automotive Super Center:
- Squealing or chirping noises when starting or accelerating
- Overheating engine or loss of cabin heat
- Coolant leaks (green, pink, or orange fluid under your car)
- Dashboard battery or steering warning lights
- Visible cracks, glazing, or bulging on belts or hoses
Ignoring these symptoms can cause your vehicle to lose power steering, air conditioning, or even engine function.
