Does the 2013 Chevy Spark have a timing belt or chain?

The 2013 Chevy Spark has a timing chain instead of a timing belt. Most newer cars are moving away from timing belts in favor of timing chains. This is because the chains have proven more durable and last for the lifetime of most cars. A timing belt is much more prone to wear and tear and will need a few replacements during the lifespan of the car. This will of course lead to additional maintenance costs for the car owner, so it's actually good riddance to it. No one wants to spend more on car parts. With a timing chain rarely needing replacement, You can focus on other maintenance practices to keep Your car running at its best.
