Everything you wanted to know about your COOLING SYSTEM (or RADIATOR) but were afraid to ask. . .

The engines in many of the cars on the road today are smaller than they used to be, as well as being far more efficient. But they also produce a great deal of heat. The cooling system is responsible for maintaining the engine at an acceptable operating temperature.

When does the Cooling System need service?

The Cooling System should be checked yearly. Failure to maintain the cooling system can result in overheating, which can cause severe damage to the engine.

What is included in the Cooling System Service?

• The pressure conditions and coolant volume are checked.
• The radiator cap is checked that it functions and fits correctly.
• Radiator hoses are checked that they are not worn, cracked or disintegrating.
• Engine belts are checked.

Are there environmental concerns?

Precision Tune Auto Care services cooling systems in an environmentally safe way. We pump out the existing coolant and properly dispose of the used coolant according to EPA standards. We service the cooling system with a conditioner, which will clean out your system. We then re-fill the system with new anti-freeze, adding a coolant system sealer when recommended. The last step of the process is to purge the system of all air pockets, ensuring that the cooling fans function in a timely manner.

As with all services you receive at Precision Tune Auto Care, the parts we install will meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer's specifications, and all used parts will be returned to you upon request.

Cooling system service is advised based on manufacturer's recommendations or as needed as determined by our inspection and based on industry standards.
