Want to learn about your car's cooling system?

- Antifreeze or coolant – Coolant should be changed every 30,000 miles or so. J&R Auto Service will flush out the old coolant before adding new, just to make sure you get the longest life out of your new fluid.
- Cooling fan – One of the quickest ways for your engine to overheat is for the cooling fan to malfunction. Luckily, it’s also a quick fix as long as you trust your cooling system to a qualified team like J&R Auto Service!
- Pressure cap – The pressure cap should be checked for cracks yearly. This can be done during a bumper-to-bumper inspection or as a part a specialized cooling system inspection.
- Coolant reservoir – This small tank contains the antifreeze used by your coolant system. The coolant reservoir can easily be checked for cracks and other damages when you have your oil changed.
- Thermostat – The thermostat is responsible for letting you know when the engine is getting too hot. If it malfunctions, you could experience major damages without you even realizing what’s going on, so it’s important for it to work properly.
- Radiator – It is an important heat exchanger that cools off the internal combustion engines. Leaking coolant or an overheating engine are signs of a bad radiator. J&R Auto Service will inspect and replace your radiator in no time!
- Water pump – The water pump is one of the most important parts for your car's engine. It keeps the coolant moving through the engine block, hoses, and radiator. It also maintains an optimal operating temperature.
