Coolant Flushing Plainfield, Naperville, Bolingbrook, IL
You ever seen the inside of an aluminum engine water pump that was not adequately protected by the corrosion inhibitors in the coolant? Or a radiator or heater core that failed from the inside out because of internal corrosion? These kinds of auto part failures are all too common. Yet they can be easily prevented by using the “right” coolant and changing the coolant before trouble starts to heat up. As they say follow the maintenance schedule. Doing something early is better than on time or late. We don’t think your auto requires a fashionably late maintenance.
Coolant – The main purpose of auto coolant is to carry heat to the radiator, prevent freezing and protect against internal corrosion. There are three types of auto coolant. Ethylene Glycol is your conventional green formulation, Dexcool red orange is an oat based antifreeze, Hybrid Oat known as Hoat or G-05 antifreeze. Hybrid Oat coolants add a small dose of silicates to provide added protection for aluminum. All coolants require maintenance changing also know as a flush. Coolants get changed out at 5 years or 100,000 to 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Water Pump Replacement Plainfield, Naperville, Bolingbrook, IL
Water Pump – The water pump plays a major role in your automobiles cooling system. It causes your water (coolant) to circulate, which in hand cools any components that require a cooling process. Most water pumps are mounted on your engine and are driven by a fan belt, alternator belt or overhead cam timing belt. Hence the importance of changing your belts according to your maintenance schedule. Most automobile water pump failures are usually caused by a bearing failure on the pump shaft accompanied by a water leak.

Heater Core Replacement Plainfield, Naperville, Bolingbrook, IL
Your car consists of a heater core and blower motor. Without both working properly, your car will not produce any hot air that your body so craves on those cold days. Good news is heater cores are fairly cheap. Bad news is, it’s a long grueling job that usually consists of a good amount of labor.
A heater core is typically located inside the car on the passenger side compartment, underneath the dashboard. Hence the reason a heater core replacement service is so expensive. If the heater core becomes plugged or if it starts leaking, the coolant will not be able to flow through it. In that case, the heater will not work. We are the low price king when it comes to quality heater core replacement in our Plainfield, Naperville, Bolingbrook, IL area.
