Advantage Auto Repair & Transmisson On Your Serpentine Belt

The power steering and power brake pumps are driven by the serpentine belt in most Tucson residents’ vehicles. Those pumps provide pressure that assists your steering and braking.

The radiator cooling fans on some vehicles are also driven by the serpentine belt. Some have separate electric motors. That’s really a lot of work for one belt.

But modern engine design has a single belt that snakes around the front of the engine and drives most, if not all, of these accessories. Serpentine belts do a lot of work, but they’re tough and can last for a long time.
