Cooling System Repair
Description of Cooling System Repair
The cooling system consists of a cooling fan, water pump, thermostat, radiator, heater core, heater valve, and various other parts that primarily work together to dissipate and remove heat from a vehicle’s engine.
Your vehicle’s cooling system is responsible for reducing the temperature inside your engine and preventing possible overheating.
Excess heat can build in a variety of places in your vehicle’s engine.
When the engine reaches maximum operating temperatures, the thermostat opens and releases antifreeze from the engine to the radiator, which initiates the circulatory flow to absorb excess heat.
The antifreeze is also responsible for keeping other engine fluids from boiling or freezing.
After the antifreeze flows through the engine, it cycles back to the radiator, where the excess heat escapes through the radiator’s walls.
The antifreeze is cooled by the cooling fan and readied to be re-released into the engine to dissipate additional heat.
Benefits of Cooling System Repair
Over time, antifreeze breaks down and loses its efficiency.
If not drained and replaced, old antifreeze can lead to corrosion.
During a cooling system flush and fill, our staff will drain the antifreeze from the radiator, flush the cooling system, and fill the radiator with new antifreeze.
The cooling system’s cooling fan circulates air through the radiator and passes excess heat out of the engine.
If the cooling fan malfunctions, your vehicle’s engine will overheat.
During an inspection of the cooling system service, our experts will check the cooling fan for damage and the fan belt for cracks.
Because the radiator is responsible for cooling the antifreeze as it circulates throughout the cooling system, a leak or a broken radiator hose can lead to major engine failure.
A radiator pressure test is one way we can check for potential leaks or radiator damage.
Ultimately, neglecting basic cooling system and radiator maintenance can lead to a potential radiator replacement and major engine or radiator repairs down the road.

Customer Testimonials
We stand by our work.
The owner John is very knowledgeable and the whole staff is friendly. I came for an oil change and to have my tires serviced (rotation, alignment and balance) because I thought they needed it. John told me I didn’t need service to my tires and they rode very well; no need to spend the money on a service that wasn’t needed. We all know many establishments would try to push a service for a dollar so his honesty is appreciated. Reasonable pricing and great service. Highly recommend! Services: Tire rotations, Oil change

Since 2003 I have entrusted all my vehicular repairs and maintenance to John and his team at C & D Auto Service. In that time I have referred my family and friends to this shop. You are in safe and steady hands with John.

Very knowledgeable HONEST people. Saved me over 2K based on a quote I would have received from another shop. Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Brakes, Electrical
Ronnell FieldsGoogle ReviewI had slow leak from a nail puncture and I was told by another tire shop that run flat tires could not be fully patched. He said it would cost $75 for a temporary fix but he recommended replacing, so I bought another tire online. [...] Thomas did such great work that it was not a temp fix at all and basically let me know the other place did not know what they were talking about. I have had no issues with the tire and its been over 3 months. He also said the repair came with a lifetime warranty so this place is all good in my book. Highly recommend. Service: Tires
