Radiator Repair

Your radiator is a key component in the continued functionality of your vehicle. Filled with coolant, it is what maintains a correct temperature in your engine, not allowing it to overheat or freeze. As your radiator ages and begins to wear, it can start to get clogged by mineral buildup and grease deposits. This can inhibit the proper flow of the coolant, which means it is unable to sustain the right temperature. This can lead to many potentially serious problems within your engine and the rest of your vehicle, so it is an important service to give your car. To be able to see to it that it is done to top quality but fits around your busy schedule, call Sacramento Mobile Mechanics.

Radiator Inspection
To identify if there is an issue with your radiator and what exactly it is, we will carry out a full radiator inspection. Using visual methods and modern diagnostic methods, we will be able to find out the details of the problem. There are too, ways that you will be able to identify issues, before we come to you. You will be able to visibly see when your temperature gauge is too high and then, we will check for cold spots in your radiator, leaks anywhere around your engine and test both coolant pressure and temperature.

Coolant Flush
As the wear particles start to build up in your coolant, they can threaten to cause blockage. If rust and dirt particles are able to mix in with the coolant then they will stop it from working in the way it should. One way to clear it is through a coolant flush. This replaces the old liquid in your pipes, with new and clean coolant. We will drain all of the old product, to make sure that your radiator is completely clear and can be given a fresh start.

When to Get Your Coolant Changed
Knowing when to get your coolant changed is important, yet doesn’t necessarily come down to an exact figure. We recommend that you get your coolant changed, roughly after every 30,000 miles; however, your car manual may say another figure which is best suited to it. Other than that, if you notice that your temperature gauge is reading noticeably higher than normal, you can say for certain that there is a problem with your coolant or radiator.
