Belts and Hoses Service in Concord, NH
Your vehicle’s belts and hoses may be small parts under the hood, but they play a big role in keeping your car running smoothly. From circulating coolant to powering your alternator and A/C, belts and hoses are essential for your vehicle’s performance and safety. If one fails, you could be left stranded or facing costly engine damage.
At Accomplished Auto in Concord, NH, we help drivers from Bow, Boscawen, Contoocook, Hooksett, Allenstown, Dunbarton, and Hopkinton stay safe by inspecting, repairing, and replacing worn belts and hoses before they cause a breakdown.
Signs You May Need a New Belt or Hose
Not sure if your belts or hoses are due for replacement? Look out for these common warning signs:
🔊 Squealing noises from under the hood
⚠️ Battery warning light appearing on your dashboard
❄️ Little or no heating or air conditioning
🚙 Rough idling or the engine running hot/overheating
💧 Visible cracks, leaks, or fraying on belts or hoses
Sometimes the problem is easy to spot (like a visible leak or broken hose), but other times the issue is less obvious. That’s why a professional diagnosis at our Concord auto repair shop is the best way to pinpoint the exact cause and fix it before it gets worse.
Why Belts and Hoses Matter
Belts (like serpentine belts and timing belts) transfer power to important components like the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and A/C compressor. If one breaks, you could lose electrical power, cooling, or steering assistance instantly.
Hoses move coolant and other fluids throughout your engine and heater system. If one leaks, it can lead to overheating and even engine failure.
Over time, both belts and hoses deteriorate from heat, friction, and age. Even if they look fine, they can still be worn inside — making regular inspections critical.
How Long Do Belts and Hoses Last?
Most radiator hoses last about 7–10 years (sometimes longer depending on driving and weather conditions).
Serpentine belts can last 60,000–100,000 miles, but should be inspected regularly for wear.
Timing belts (if your vehicle has one) are usually due between 60,000–100,000 miles, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendation.
At Accomplished Auto, we’ll let you know the true condition of your belts and hoses — not just guess based on mileage.
Preventative Maintenance Tip: Coolant Flush
Whenever we replace cooling system hoses, we recommend performing a coolant flush. This helps remove any debris or buildup that could shorten the lifespan of your new hoses and ensures your cooling system stays clean and efficient.
