Radiator repair and services

When you are driving your vehicle, there are certain parts of your engine that create friction and that same friction generates heat. It can be quite a challenge to keep up with the cooling system maintenance of your vehicle. However, our friendly, trustworthy and professional team of certified mechanics specialize in various auto repair services, including radiator repair and radiator, flush and we can keep your car in proper working order.

The cooling system of your car is what keeps it from having a meltdown. All of the components in the cooling system join forces to meet one important goal, which is moving coolant around your engine so that it can absorb and dissipate heat. The main purpose of the cooling system is to reduce the temperature in order to help all other parts of the engine work properly.

The standard cooling system is made up of the following components:

  • Thermostat and housing
  • Thermo-time switch
  • Water pump
  • Electric cooling fan
  • Radiator and hoses

When our technicians perform a radiator repair and flush, they will inspect:

  • Your fluid level
  • Signs of corrosion and oxidation
  • If all parts, including the thermostat and fans, are working properly
  • Belts and hoses for signs of fractures or leaks
  • Fluids or deposit which might show indications of leaks or damages

If you don't maintain your car's cooling system, it might result in serious damages or even a complete failure of your engine. A flush is recommended every 2 years or every 30,000 to 50,000 miles.

Schedule your next radiator repair and flush with us and our certified technicians will assist you in keeping your car running for a long time!

Radiator Cap Video

While the radiator cap may seem like a minor part, it helps keep your engine cool by sealing and pressurizing the coolant inside. The radiator cap designed to hold the coolant in the radiator under a predetermined amount of pressure. Once the pressure reaches maximum, the cap opens its release valve and allows heat to escape. To maintain your cooling system, it is important that even the smallest components are working properly.

If your car, truck, or SUV is overheating, do not open the radiator cap. Pressurized coolant can spray out, causing serious burns. Whether the issue is your radiator cap, your radiator, or another cooling system problem, call Laguna Auto Service Center at (949) 494-2117 to diagnose cooling issues. A new radiator cap is an inexpensive repair and can prevent future damage.

If a failed radiator cap is ignored long enough there can be serious repercussions like an overheated engine. An overheated engine can cause irreparable damage, requiring costly engine replacement.
