Your automobile's cooling system is a type of heat exchanger that transfers heat from the warm coolant that streams through it to the air blown by the fan. The cooling system maintains the engine temperature for peak performance, preventing overheating and even heating the vehicle cabin. If your cooling system stops working or wears out, it can make for an uncomfortable driving experience. If you feel that your car or truck is overheating, you can come to C&D Auto Care in La Mesa, California for a cooling system service today. How Does a Cooling System Work? C&D Auto Care's owner Antonio Tapia only hires the best for their shop, and our Expert technicians are all very familiar with your vehicle's cooling system. Whether you're looking for cooling system repair for your Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, or Ford, you can count on us! Most cooling systems work in the same way. Warm coolant, or antifreeze, streams into the aluminum cooling system and cools the liquid down. The automobile's radiator and fan aids in cooling the hot coolant down and helps the liquid go down to the engine. This cycle repeats as you drive to keep your engine from overheating. Cooling systems, in most cases, consist of a radiator, which contains a fin that increases the turbulence of the coolant going through the cooling system. Creating turbulence means that even more of the coolant liquid will be exposed to the tube, therefore eliminating even more heat and cooling down the fluid much faster. As the cooling system ages, mineral deposits from the coolant liquid build up, which can obstruct the circulation of fluid through the system. This will create pressure in your vehicle's cooling system, which can harm the water pump, tubes, and thermostat. If you have not brought your vehicle in for service in a while, you can also come to C&D Auto Care for automotive repair, preventative maintenance, and more. We can also replace your water pump or thermostat if needed. How Do I Know If My Automobile Needs a Cooling System Service?
