Radiator & Cooling Service in Rohnert park
Dependable Coolant System Service
Second only to oil, the cooling system in your engine is one of the most critical. Engines produce a lot of heat while running, and if a safe operating temperature isn’t maintained serious damage can occur. Proper maintenance of the coolant system is essential for keeping your engine running like it should.
Coolant system maintenance can include things like periodic coolant flushes and hose inspection, as well as water pump replacement (which depending on the vehicle is sometimes done at the same time as a timing belt service).
Throughout the engine bay of your car or truck, coolant flows through pipes, hoses, the radiator, and the engine block itself. The complexity of the cooling system means there are a lot of potential failure points, from things as simple as a dry rotted hose to serious problems like a crack in the engine block or failed head gasket.
Cooling system problems can present in a number of ways. Common symptoms include coolant leaks, overheating, white smoke from the tailpipe, a sweet smell coming from the engine bay while driving, fogged up windshield, and a warning light/check engine light. Due to the wide array of potential failures, it’s important to get you vehicle looked at as soon as you notice something isn’t right.
