Experiencing problems with your cooling system? The Mahon Automotive Group technicians are here to help!
Car cooling system - What does it do?
It keeps your engine cool. The system will heat up when internal combustion engines run. The engine will overheat and cause damage to the vehicle without a properly functioning cooling system. The cooling system is made up of several components including a thermostat, radiator, radiator cooling fan, cooling system pressure cap, and coolant. Each of these parts needs to be functioning correctly in order to keep the engine cool.
Located in Brevard, NC, Mahon Automotive Group is happy to inspect your cooling system to identify any problems.
Warning signs:
- Overheating engine - could be a broken thermostat, low coolant, or a worn water pump
- Coolant boils - cooling system pressure cap could be compromised
- Hot engine when car isn't moving - faulty radiator cooling fans or airflow problem
- White steam from exhaust - possible crack in engine or blown head gasket
How do you repair a cooling system?
We will inspect your vehicle first to find out where any issues might be. You should have your cooling system flushed regularly to make sure the antifreeze is working effectively and not causing corrosion. Most technicians recommend a flush about every 40,000 miles to avoid problems. Simple maintenance like flushing the cooling system can prevent the need for major repairs to the radiator or engine in the future. If there's a faulty component of the cooling system, we will repair or replace it as necessary.
We will keep you safe with an engine that is properly cooled to avoid overheating and further damage. Mahon Automotive Group proudly meets the cooling system repair needs of customers in Brevard, NC and surrounding areas.
