Checking your autos cooling and heating systems is particularly crucial in the weeks preceding the subfreezing winter season and the sweltering heat of summer. But its more advisable that you check these systems every time you conduct a routine car check-up or you engage in basic vehicle maintenance. Preventative maintenance is key. Every time you drive, your radiator uses its coolant and water mixture to help lower the temperatures in your vehicles engine system. The longer and the faster you drive, the bigger the stress on your engine, allowing temperatures to skyrocket to incredible heights leading to the increase of the likelihood of overheating. Because of the coolants crucial role in maintaining your engines efficiency, you need to keep your ride equipped with the right coolant mixture (pretty much the same way youd pick out the right type of gas for your car). Coolant, like all the other fluids used by your vehicle, has a tendency to break down over time. This is why you need to replace your coolant mixture as a preventive measure. . When the coolant breaks down, more stress is placed on your radiator and your engine begins to run hotter than normal. Sludge and mineral deposits also build up under your vehicles hood, effectively reducing your vehicles overall performance. Prolonged use of bad coolant can also result in radiator damage, requiring you to replace your radiator sooner. We have a flush system in place which cleans the block thoroughly and increases the longevity of all cooling components. Preventative maintenance is the key for a worry free future of your vehicle.
