Timing belt replacement in Almere — from €585 for labour (parts extra)
Timing belt due for replacement? At AutoJet in Almere we replace it from €585 for labour (parts extra), to factory specification and with 3-month warranty. Replacing it in time prevents very expensive engine damage — if the belt snaps while the engine is running, valves and pistons often suffer damage that can't be repaired. You see the price up front by licence plate, no surprises afterwards. Open Mon–Sat 10:00–19:00 at Televisieweg 63.
When should the timing belt be replaced?
The timing belt keeps the camshaft and crankshaft running in sync. If it snaps while driving, valves and pistons collide — usually resulting in very expensive engine damage. That's why it's replaced preventively, based on your car's mileage or age according to the factory schedule, not after it's already failed.
Still, watch for these signs — often a sign it really can't wait any longer:
- A ticking or rasping sound at the front of the engine.
- The engine starts poorly or suddenly stalls.
- A warning light on the dashboard.
- Visible cracks or fraying on the belt on inspection.

Timing belt replacement in Almere at AutoJet
You book by licence plate, we replace the timing belt to factory specification — including the tensioner rollers, since they wear along with the belt and replacing them separately isn't sensible. We give 3-month warranty on the work carried out as standard.
On many engines the water pump is driven by the same belt and sits in the same access area, so we often advise having it replaced at the same time — that saves paying for the same labour twice if the pump ends up leaking later.

Frequently asked questions about the timing belt in Almere
What does a timing belt replacement cost in Almere?
At AutoJet in Almere a timing belt replacement is from €585 for labour (parts extra), to factory specification, with 3-month warranty. The exact price for your car is shown up front by licence plate.
What does a wet timing belt (belt running in oil) cost?
Labour from €1100, parts extra: you hear the parts price upfront, by licence plate. This applies to engines with a belt running in oil, such as the Ford 1.0 EcoBoost, the Ford Transit 2.0 EcoBlue and the PureTech 1.0–1.2 from Peugeot, Citroën and Opel. A regular (dry) belt stays labour from €585.
Why is replacing it in time so important?
If the timing belt snaps while the engine is running, valves and pistons collide. This often results in very expensive engine damage — far more than a preventive replacement.
Should the water pump be replaced at the same time?
Often it's sensible: on many engines the water pump is driven by the same belt and shares the same access area. We advise honestly per car, so you don't pay for the same labour twice.
Do you give a warranty on the replacement?
Yes, we give 3-month warranty on the timing belt work carried out.
