Auto Cooling System Repairs

Protect Your Engine by Keeping It Cool

Keeping your cooling system in good repair will help keep your engine running well and keep you out of the repair shop. This means a regular inspection of your cooling system should be on your schedule for routine preventive maintenance of your vehicle. It varies depending on what kind of car you drive, what type of driving you do and where you live. You can rely on Four Seasons Automotive for complete cooling system service.

If your engine has overheated, you should also check your coolant system for leaks. Check the radiator for cracks and the radiator hoses for leaks. You should also check your water pump. They don’t need to be replaced on a regular schedule, but they do need to be checked regularly. They can and do wear out.

The water pump is a critical component of your cooling system. It pumps the coolant to keep it circulating through the engine. The coolant is cooled in the radiator, and then it travels through the engine, where it absorbs heat. Then it returns to the radiator, where it releases the heat. And so on. When you turn your engine on, you also turn the cooling system on. Call or stop in today so one of our service professionals can help diagnose the problem.

Check Your Coolant and Antifreeze Levels Often

Our cars must operate in a wide range of outside temperatures and our engine coolant must be able to perform no matter what. Think for a moment about the environment where the coolant works. Very hot, high pressure, corrosive...

And all the while, the coolant must protect the components of the cooling system from corrosion. These components are made from steel and aluminum, plastics, and rubber. The coolant has to be formulated to protect against corrosion for these different materials. That’s why different manufacturers recommend different types of antifreeze for their vehicles.

There are several different “families” of anti-freeze. It’s important to stay on top of this because coolant system failure is the most common mechanical problem people have. Regular service needs to be performed to avoid failures. The technicians at Four Seasons Automotive know what to do and how to do it!
