If you need a cambelt replacement in Cardiff, you’ve come to the right place! The cambelt (also known as the timing belt) is an absolutely crucial part of your vehicle, helping ensure the crankshaft and camshaft are in perfect sync with one another.
Typically, a cambelt replacement is required at around the 60,000 -70,000 mile mark, depending on the vehicle at hand. Failure to replace this critical part can result in broader engine failure and extremely costly repairs.

Spotting a problem with your cambelt isn’t always easy; there are some common signs and symptoms to look out for. These include:
Loss of vehicle performance
The engine is constantly misfiring or feels like it’s not running effectively
Visible wear on the belt
A knocking / ticking noise when driving
If you notice any of these issues and your vehicle has done more than 60k miles, it’s highly probable that a cambelt issue may cause this.

Joe managed to book my car in straight away and carried out a really thorough inspection before purchase. He even sent me a detailed video of the underside (something I’d never normally get to see), talking me through everything clearly and in a way I could understand. He also gave it an extensive test drive and ran full diagnostics to check for any hidden issues. The communication was outstanding, the service above and beyond, and the pricing very fair. An honest, professional garage I’d recommend to absolutely everyone!Posted on Tomos Gwyn2025-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I recently used the garage for a clutch replacement. Joe is a courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable mechanic. He explained the problem to me thoroughly, setting-out details of the work to be done, together with a cost estimate (which was a really accurate prediction). The work was carried quickly and efficiently. A major, positive service provided in the Cardiff area is that a customer’s car is picked up from their home and returned when work on the car is completed. What a bonus that is!! Thank you, Joe, for a very a very hassle-free experience.Posted on Joe Cameron2025-07-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe's a top bloke!

Here at Lawfix Automotive, we offer a full timing belt and water pump replacement service here in Cardiff, maximising the efficiency and longevity of your vehicle.
