Lincoln Park Auto Repair Company Provides Radiator Services

By Hans Gerhard


Your car's radiator is an important part of its engine system. For the most part, radiators function properly and provide few problems. However, without regular maintenance you could be damaging your entire cooling system without realizing it. Thankfully, your Lincoln Park auto repair professionals provide complete cooling services.

Radiator basic function and design has changed little over the past 100 years or so. Engine coolant flows throughout radiator cores and in the process it dissipates heat from the motor. Air flow through the cores allows for more dissipation of heat, and this is done by moving down the road or by the use of a mechanical or electric cooling fan.

Radiator problems can be difficult to spot without special equipment. One cannot simply look inside of the radiator. In fact, many radiators are inaccessible and do not have removable caps. Reservoir caps can be tested to see if they are bad or not, but it takes specialized equipment.

When a car overheats, it could be one or several of the cooling components. Many cooling problems start with corrosion that eventually plugs up radiator cores. This reduces cooling efficiency. Overeating can result in expensive repairs like head gasket replacement, and can crack the block or intake manifold.

When you notice coolant leaking from the radiator, your first impulse may to buy some leak elimination product. This may stop the leak but other problems can develop. You may still have corrosion in the system that can be trouble.

The best way to ensure you have no cooling system trouble is to take your car to your local garage. They have trained professionals and sophisticated equipment to service your vehicle properly. It does not take long for your Lincoln Park auto repair company to make sure you are protected in cold and hot weather, and you can avoid many overheating problems.
