Cooling System

Why Choose Car Care Connection for Your Cooling System Needs?

• Radiator Pressure Test:  We perform thorough radiator pressure tests to detect any leaks or weaknesses in the radiator. This test ensures that your radiator can maintain the necessary pressure to keep your engine cool.
  
  
• Inspection of Hoses for Leaks:  Our technicians meticulously inspect all cooling system hoses for signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. Hoses play a critical role in transporting coolant between the engine and radiator, and any leaks can lead to overheating.
  
  
• Check Coolant Level:  Maintaining the correct coolant level is essential for efficient cooling system operation. We check your coolant level and top it off if necessary, ensuring your engine has the proper amount of coolant to operate efficiently.
  
  
• Check Water Pump for Leaks: The water pump is a vital component of your cooling system, circulating coolant through the engine and radiator. We inspect the water pump for any signs of leaks or malfunction to prevent overheating and engine damage.
  
  
• Tension Belts if Needed:  Properly tensioned belts are essential for the efficient operation of your cooling system. We check the tension of all relevant belts and adjust them as needed to ensure optimal performance.
