Your vehicle’s cooling system keeps your car running comfortably and prevents your engine from overheating. Unfortunately, over time, parts of the cooling system will wear out or become damaged and must be replaced. Knowing when repairs are necessary is critical to preserving the longevity of your car and avoiding costly repairs.
Coolant Flush and Fill Services
The coolant flush and fill service is one of the most basic yet essential services for maintaining your cooling system. This service removes all the old coolant from your vehicle’s radiator and replaces it with new coolant formulated explicitly for your make, model, and year. This process protects against corrosion and damage caused by sediment buildup in the radiator, which can lead to overheating or other damage over time.
Radiator Replacement Services
If you’ve noticed any consistent overheating or leaks from your vehicle’s radiator, consider replacing it entirely. Radiator replacement services remove the old radiator from under your car’s hood and replace it with a brand-new one. Replacing a faulty radiator can prevent further damage to other components in your cooling system, such as hoses, thermostats, water pumps, etc., and avoid future breakdowns due to worn-out or faulty parts.
Thermostat Replacement Services
The thermostat regulates the temperature of the engine coolant and when it should flow through different parts of the engine. You may need to replace your thermostat if you’re having problems with frequent overheating or poor performance due to low temperatures. This service removes the old thermostat and replaces it with a new one specifically designed for optimal performance in your make, model, and year.
Taking care of your vehicle’s cooling system preserves its longevity and avoids costly repairs. In addition, regularly scheduled maintenance, such as coolant flushes and fills, prevents minor issues from becoming major repair jobs later.
