The radiator is responsible for dissipating heat from the engine coolant to the air. It allows the coolant, which absorbs heat from the engine, to pass through a series of thin tubes with fins, where air flowing through the grille cools it before it circulates back into the engine.

A car's water pump circulates coolant through the engine and radiator to maintain the engine’s temperature. It pumps coolant into the engine to absorb heat, then moves it to the radiator where the heat is released. This constant flow prevents overheating, ensures smooth operation, and protects the engine from damage.

A car thermostat is a temperature-sensitive valve that regulates the flow of coolant between the engine and the radiator. When the engine is cold, the thermostat stays closed to help it warm up quickly. As the engine heats up, the thermostat opens to allow coolant to flow to the radiator, releasing heat and preventing the engine from overheating. This ensures the engine maintains an optimal operating temperature for performance and efficiency.

A coolant reservoir is a tank that holds excess coolant from the engine’s cooling system. As the engine heats up, coolant expands and flows into the reservoir, preventing pressure buildup. When the engine cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the system to maintain the proper level. This helps regulate coolant flow, prevents overflow, and ensures the system operates efficiently.

A cooling fan helps regulate the engine's temperature by pulling air through the radiator. It kicks in when the engine gets too hot, to cool the coolant passing through the radiator. This ensures the engine stays within a safe operating temperature range, preventing overheating and damage.

Coolant hoses are flexible tubes that transport coolant between the engine, radiator, water pump, and other components of the cooling system. They withstand high temperatures and pressure, ensuring a steady flow of coolant to absorb heat from the engine and release it through the radiator. Properly functioning hoses are essential to prevent leaks and keep the cooling system working efficiently.

A radiator cap maintains the pressure in the cooling system and ensures it operates efficiently. It seals the system to prevent coolant loss and allows the coolant to expand into the reservoir as it heats up. If the pressure gets too high, the cap releases excess pressure to prevent damage. When the system cools, the cap allows coolant to flow back into the radiator, keeping the system properly filled.

Over time, coolant degrades, and the additives that prevent corrosion in the cooling system become depleted. Once these additives are exhausted, the coolant turns acidic, leading to corrosion of vital components like the water pump, radiator, and thermostat. To prevent this, we offer a coolant flush service, which removes old, degraded coolant and replaces it with fresh fluid.
