Poole adjoins Bournemouth to the east, so it's worth comparing car repair and servicing prices in both locations if you're looking for a good deal and don't mind driving a little further. The A350 is the town centre's main road, running north to the A35, which creates a link to Bristol and Bath. Guest Avenue is one of the busiest roads in Poole and consequently sees a high number of potholes, which can cause damage to your tyres and tracking.

Since Poole is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Poole.

The wet belt controls the engine's timing by synchronising the camshaft and crankshaft. Unlike a cambelt, it is housed in the engine and lubricated with oil. It needs replacing at the correct intervals because it can cause severe engine damage if it fails.

Ford, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Vauxhall and Citroen all use wet belts in some models. You can find out what type of timing chain or belt your car uses by checking your owner's manual.

In addition to replacing your car's wet belt at the recommended intervals, it's essential to maintain the right engine oil level and use the correct oil to prevent premature wear and tear. Contamination is one of the leading causes of wet belt-related engine problems.

Replacing a wet belt might seem expensive, but it's absolutely worth it. The chances are that it will cost less than fixing the damage if the belt fails.
