Protect Your Engine by Maintaining Your Car’s Cooling System
Your car’s engine is powerful. All of this power generates a damaging byproduct: heat. This heat is controlled and kept in check by your vehicle’s efficient cooling system, made up of your radiator, hoses, water pump, and other cooling components. By cycling coolant through your engine block, this damaging heat is absorbed and transferred away through the water pump and into your radiator to transfer into the air. An underperforming or failing cooling system can cause catastrophic damage to your vehicle’s engine.

Symptoms of a Failing Radiator
As your cooling system breaks down, your vehicle will exhibit symptoms to let you know that something is wrong. Not knowing what to look for can allow further damage to occur. If you suspect your vehicle’s cooling system is having trouble or you notice any of these signs while operating your car, stop by Casselberry Auto Service to allow our ASE-certified auto technicians to conduct a thorough inspection.Overheating Engine
Is your bright red temperature warning light showing on your dash? This indicates that your engine is running hot and can be caused by a variety of issues, such as a faulty thermostat or a broken water pump. It is critical to seek out a professional if your vehicle is overheating to avoid serious damage to the engine.
Coolant Leak
Coolant is hard to miss with its red, yellow, or green-colored fluid. Coolant belongs inside your cooling system, so seeing it puddle beneath your vehicle is a good indicator that you likely have a leak. Low or loss of coolant can put your engine at risk of overheating. Our techs will inspect your vehicle for signs of a leak and provide prompt repairs to get you back on the road.
Heater Not Working
Ever wonder what happens to some of that heat that is cycled away from your engine? Your car actually uses this heat to supply the warmth to your vehicle’s heating system, keeping you nice and toasty despite the dropping temperatures outdoors. If you are noticing that your car’s heat isn’t producing hot air, this can be a sign that heat is not being funneled away from your engine properly.
