Mobile Wet Belt Replacement Canterbury Kent
Canterbury's fully mobile wet belt specialists for Ford EcoBoost, Transit EcoBlue and PureTech engines. We come to your home, driveway or workplace — fixed prices, OE-grade parts, same-day diagnosis, no dealership markup.
A wet belt that lets go is an engine that's gone.
Modern Ford and Stellantis engines run their timing belt inside the engine, bathed in oil. As the belt ages, it sheds rubber. That rubber blocks the oil pump pickup, the engine starves, and within seconds you've got bent valves, scored bores or a write-off.
We've spent years turning around late-stage wet belt failures across Canterbury, Faversham and the surrounding Kent villages — and we've replaced hundreds preventatively for owners who knew the risks. The maths is simple: a £950–£1,350 belt job versus a £4,000–£8,000 engine rebuild. There's no third option. Either you change the belt, or the belt changes the engine.
How our mobile wet belt service works
No recovery truck. No day off work. We arrive at your address with everything we need.
We confirm engine type, book a date and give you an all-in fixed quote up front — no recovery truck needed.
Home, driveway or workplace anywhere in CT1–CT9. Fully equipped mobile van — tools, diagnostics, OE-grade parts on board.
Full wet belt service on your driveway. Sump dropped, sludge cleared, fresh oil and filter. Usually same-day.
Hot-run, scan, road test and paperwork emailed before we leave. Most jobs are done in a day; EcoBoost engines are far more labour-intensive and occasionally need two.
Indicative wet belt prices
Final quote after we see the engine. Every job includes belt, tensioner, oil pump pickup, a full sump clean, fresh oil and filter. Lower price is without a water pump, higher price includes one — the water pump is optional on every vehicle.
Prices guideline only · Excluding VAT · Sump clean included as standard · Water pump optional · Quoted on inspection.

Wet belt questions, answered straight
What does wet belt replacement cost in Canterbury?+
Most jobs land between £950 and £1,350 plus VAT, fully fitted. PureTech engines are £950 without a water pump or £1,150 with one; Ford EcoBoost is £1,050 to £1,250; Transit EcoBlue is £1,100 to £1,350. The water pump is optional on every vehicle. Every price includes a full sump clean — we always quote a fixed price after inspection, never a vague hourly estimate.
Do I need to bring my car anywhere?+
No — we're fully mobile. We come to your home, driveway or workplace anywhere in CT1–CT9 with a fully equipped van, tools, diagnostics and OE-grade parts on board. No recovery truck, no day off work, no dealership waiting room.
How long is my car off the road?+
We only ever book one job a day, so your vehicle has our full attention with no hurry. Most wet belts are completed in a single day. Ford EcoBoost engines are the exception — they are extremely labour-intensive and in some cases run into a second day.
Why not just go to the Ford or Peugeot dealer in Canterbury?+
You can — but expect to pay 60–100% more, plus the hassle of getting the car to them. We use OE-grade parts (often the very same INA or Dayco kits the dealer fits), only ever take on one job at a time so nothing gets rushed, and do it all on your driveway.
Do you cover Faversham, Chartham and Sturry?+
Yes — we regularly work in Faversham, Chartham, Sturry, Bridge, Wingham, Chilham, Blean, Littlebourne, Bekesbourne, Whitstable, Herne Bay and further afield across East Kent. Send your postcode by WhatsApp and we'll confirm cover within the hour.
Is wet belt replacement covered by my warranty?+
If your car is still inside the manufacturer warranty, you should claim through the dealer first. For vehicles out of warranty (which is most of what we see) we save customers thousands compared to dealer prices.
