The cooling system of your vehicle plays a vital role in removing heat from the engine to prevent overheating. Essentially, the many parts of this system work in tandem to keep the engine at a normal temperature during operation. However, some of the components such as the antifreeze released by the thermostat can break down and lose efficiency if it is not drained and replaced regularly. At Tire Max, our team can perform reliable cooling system services for your vehicle to ensure that your engine will keep you going for as long as you need.
During an inspection of the cooling system, our experts will check the cooling fan for damage and the fan belt for cracks. Since 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.

The purpose of any cooling system flush is to rid your vehicle of its old antifreeze.

We are happy to do cooling system flushes on vehicles of all makes and models, and our knowledgeable service staff will approach your cooling system flush and fill with complete competence to deliver quality repairs.
COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
Unfortunately, cooling systems are not impervious to damage. Leaks can occur when corrosion is present, and these leaks may be hard to find. If you spot a leak, be sure to visit us for a cooling system pressure test, because when left untreated it will lead to other greater issues. Our pressure test can locate the source of the leak, after which a member of our service staff can determine the proper repair procedure. Our cooling system pressure test is effective and dependable, and we are confident that we will be able to make the cooling system repairs that your vehicle requires.
RADIATOR REPAIR
Your vehicle’s radiator helps keep your engine cool, which is why it’s so important to have it inspected if you notice that it is not working properly. Typical signs of radiator wear include an elevated temperature gauge or a green, orange, or yellow puddle of coolant under your car that points to a leak. Once you suspect a malfunction, bring your car into Tire Max for an inspection and we’ll determine whether or not your radiator needs to be replaced or repaired.
Like most other vehicle malfunctions, an issue with your cooling system can lead to many other more expensive problems down the road. Plus, if your engine breaks down or overheats because of a leak in the system, your safety could be put into jeopardy. To avoid future problems, always contact the Tire Max team as soon as you notice a leak or any other sign that points to wear or damage. We will get you an appointment and make sure your car is safe to drive before you leave our shop.
