Cooling System Repair

Cooling System Service in Allison Park, PA

The cooling system consists of a cooling fan, water pump, thermostat, radiator, heater core, heater valve, and various other parts that primarily work together to dissipate and remove heat from a vehicle’s engine. Your vehicle’s cooling system is responsible for reducing the temperature inside your engine and preventing possible overheating.

Signs your vehicle may need Cooling System service:

  • Low coolant fluid level
  • Upon examining the coolent, it is dark or full or rust/particles
  • There is coolant fluid (which is very bright yellow/green in color and looks translucent) leaking and pooling under your vehicle
  • Your vehicle's engine is overheating
  • The engine won't start (this could also be an issue with they battery, alternator, ignition or another electrical system)
  • The temperature warning light, check engine light, or other cooling system-related light comes on
  • Why Cooling System Service Is Important:

    Over time, antifreeze breaks down and loses its efficiency. If not drained and replaced, old antifreeze can lead to corrosion. During a cooling system flush and fill, our staff will drain the antifreeze from the radiator, flush the cooling system, and fill the radiator with new antifreeze. The cooling system’s cooling fan circulates air through the radiator and passes excess heat out of the engine. If the cooling fan malfunctions, your vehicle’s engine will overheat. During an inspection of the cooling system service, our experts will check the cooling fan for damage and the fan belt for cracks. Because the radiator is responsible for cooling the antifreeze as it circulates throughout the cooling system, a leak or a broken radiator hose can lead to major engine failure. A radiator pressure test is one way we can check for potential leaks or radiator damage. Ultimately, neglecting basic cooling system and radiator maintenance can lead to a potential radiator replacement and major engine or radiator repairs down the road.
