The serpentine belt tensioner applies pressure to the serpentine belt, maintaining optimal tension to drive the accessories like the alternator and A/C compressor. At Tuffy Grand Rapids we know that the service life of the belt tensioner is the same as the belt itself, so they should always be replaced together. A worn tensioner prevents the accessories from spinning properly, leading to premature wear and noise for Grand Rapids drivers.

Your friendly and professional Tuffy Grand Rapids service advisor can inspect your system and let you know if it’s time for a replacement.
