Keep Your Cool When Temperatures Rise
Oklahoma summers can be brutal, and the last thing you want is your car overheating on I-35 or your air conditioning giving out in July. Your vehicle's cooling system works overtime in our climate, keeping your engine at the right temperature while making sure you stay comfortable inside.
Most people don't think about their cooling system until something goes wrong—and by then, you might be looking at expensive engine damage. The good news is that regular cooling system maintenance can prevent most problems and keep you driving comfortably year-round.
How Your Cooling System Keeps You Moving
Your cooling system is like your car's circulatory system. Engine coolant flows through your engine, absorbing heat, then travels to the radiator where it's cooled down before making the circuit again. When everything's working right, your engine stays at the perfect temperature and your heater works great in winter.
But coolant doesn't last forever. Over time, it breaks down and gets contaminated, which can lead to clogs, corrosion, and eventually engine overheating. That's where regular coolant service comes in.
Our Cooling System Services
Coolant Flush and Fill We completely drain your old coolant, flush the system to remove any buildup or contamination, and refill it with fresh coolant that meets your vehicle's specifications.
System Inspection We check all the components that keep your cooling system running: radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, and cooling fan. Better to catch small problems before they become big ones.
Hose and Belt Replacement Cooling system hoses take a beating from heat and pressure. We'll replace any that are cracked, soft, or showing signs of wear.
Radiator Repair If your radiator is leaking or not cooling effectively, we can often repair it. Sometimes replacement is the better option—we'll give you honest advice about what makes sense.
Signs Your Cooling System Needs Attention
- Temperature gauge running hot or in the red zone
- Sweet smell (that's coolant leaking)
- White smoke from under the hood
- Puddles under your car after it's been parked
- Heater not working properly in winter
- Rust-colored coolant or debris in the reservoir
- Hissing sounds from under the hood
What's Under Your Hood
Your cooling system has several key players working together:
- Radiator - Cools the heated coolant
- Water Pump - Circulates coolant through the system
- Thermostat - Controls coolant flow based on temperature
- Cooling Fan - Helps air flow through the radiator
- Hoses - Carry coolant between components
- Coolant Reservoir - Holds extra coolant for the system
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my cooling system serviced? Most manufacturers recommend coolant service every 30,000-50,000 miles, but Oklahoma's heat can be tough on cooling systems. We recommend having it checked at every oil change and serviced according to your owner's manual.
Why is my car overheating? Common causes include low coolant, a faulty thermostat, a bad water pump, or a clogged radiator. The important thing is to stop driving immediately if your temperature gauge goes into the red—continued driving can cause serious engine damage.
Can I just add water instead of coolant? Water doesn't protect against freezing or corrosion like proper coolant does. Plus, it boils at a lower temperature than coolant, which isn't great for our hot Oklahoma summers.
