As the proud owner of a 2005 Kia Sorento, you might be curious about the number of belts in your vehicle. There are a total of four belts to be aware of. In addition to the serpentine belt (timing belt), you have three accessory or drive belts. Since your vehicle utilizes a timing belt, it's essential to regularly inspect it for any signs of wear, tear, damage, or potential breakage. It's recommended to have this inspection every 10,000 miles or at least once a year. If the belt requires replacement, you can anticipate spending between $85 and $148 for the parts alone. Opting to have it professionally replaced will add an extra $50 to $240 for labor costs.
