Let Us Keep Your Car Radiator in Great Shape

Whether you are getting to and from work each day, running errands on the weekend, or picking up your kids after school, you need to have a vehicle that you can count on. That means taking great care of your car so you know that it will keep running for you. If your engine has started overheating or you smell something best described as “sweet and burning,” then you are likely in need of some car radiator repair to ensure everything is running properly. Overheating engines can be a big hassle and, even worse, result in serious damage to the engine that is much more complicated and expensive to repair. Bring your vehicle to our service experts at Scrubway Wash & Lube so we can fix your radiator and any other issues you have and get you back on the road.

Don’t Let High Temperatures Put Your Car Out of Commission

The cooling system for your vehicle’s engine is an essential part of your car, and it is vital that it functions properly to keep your ride in great shape. Many of us have had situations where we were in a bad spot and had to put some water in our cooling system to keep it from overheating so we could get to work in the morning or otherwise reach a destination in a pinch, but that is not a solution. Any time your vehicle’s engine starts to overheat, it means that something is wrong; if your engine is running properly and has been maintained correctly, then it is likely an issue with your radiator. After all, keeping your engine cool is what your radiator does.

Without getting too complicated, your vehicle’s radiator is directly responsible for keeping the temperature in your engine at a safe level. Liquid coolant flows through your engine, and when it starts to get hot, it is sent to the radiator to cool down. After the coolant has returned to its normal temperature, it flows back into the engine, where the process repeats itself. When something goes wrong with your radiator or the coolant, then you can easily end up in a situation where your engine overheats.

 

On paper, the radiator in your vehicle is a pretty simple system—especially compared to things like the brakes or transmission—with relatively few parts involved. But this means that when something goes wrong, the consequences can be much more dramatic. It does not take much for the whole system to fall apart. If you need to put more coolant in your vehicle on a regular basis, for example, then you have a bigger problem since you likely have a leak in the system. Trying to put a bandage over such a thing is only setting yourself up for more significant problems down the road; you are much better off letting us handle it and fix your radiator properly so you have a car you can be confident in.
