COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE FROM HUFFINES CHEVROLET LEWISVILLE

Some estimates say the number one cause of major engine failure is problems with the cooling system. Your car's cooling system removes the heat generated by your vehicle's engine. It does this by circulating antifreeze through the engine and radiator. When engine heat isn't removed properly, it can quickly damage your engine's components. At Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville, one of our main service goals is to help you avoid costly mistakes before they happen. You can do this by scheduling service at regular intervals for all your vehicles at our Lewisville Service Department.

How Often Should My Cooling System Be Checked?

At Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville, we recommend changing your coolant every 24,000 miles or two years, whichever comes first. If you can't remember the last time you had your vehicle's coolant inspected and/or flushed, schedule service with Huffines Chevrolet Lewisville and we'll check for you. Our certified technicians will inspect your vehicle's cooling system, check your coolant level, and replace any worn out or damaged components. Schedule your appointment today!

Understanding Your Vehicle's Cooling System Components

The cooling system in the car has the following components:

  • Radiator: Removes heat from fluid that moves through the engine
  • Radiator fan: Pulls air through the radiator
  • Radiator hoses: Moves coolant between the engine and radiator
  • Pressure cap: Maintains the cooling system's pressure
  • Water pump: Draws coolant from the radiator and moves it through the cooling system
  • Thermostat: Allows the right amount of coolant to enter the system to keep the engine at the optimal temperature

Warning Signs Your Cooling System Needs Service

Book a service if you notice any of these signs your cooling system needs attention:

  • Low coolant/antifreeze levels
  • Coolant puddles under your vehicle
  • Grinding noise from under the hood
  • Flecks of rust in your coolant
  • Coolant looks brown or murky
  • High temperature gauge readings
  • Steam or sweet smell coming from the engine

Complete Cooling System Service: What's Included

A complete cooling system service includes:

  • Radiator and cooling system inspection
  • Old coolant removal
  • Coolant replacement
  • Repair or replacement of any worn components, such as hoses, thermostat, water pump, and radiator

Cooling System Service Intervals and Timing

Most vehicles need a full cooling system service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles or two to five years, whichever occurs first. As recommended intervals can vary between different makes and models, check your owner's manual to confirm the timing for your vehicle. It's a good idea to book a cooling system inspection every 12,000 miles or 12 months to check for minor issues that could become major problems before your full cooling system service.

We encourage Lewisville residents to book their cooling system services every two years, as Texas' high summer heat accelerates coolant evaporation and weakens hoses, seals, and the radiator. Your engine will also run hotter than usual and put pressure on your cooling system if you regularly tow or drive in the stop-and-go traffic around North Texas Boulevard and Highway 114 through Southlake.
