Radiator Repair and Services
The Tri-Cities summers can be hot, not just for you but also for your car. To stay cool, your car has a radiator to help regulate engine temperature. At Platinum Automotive Services in Kennewick, WA, we want to make sure your car doesn't overheat, even on the hottest Kennewick days. We’re pleased to provide radiator service for domestic and import vehicles.
How Does It Work
Your engine relies on the radiator to maintain a safe operating temperature. The radiator is a metal core with coolant flowing through it. As hot engine coolant passes through the radiator, fins dissipate heat into the surrounding air, keeping the engine from overheating.
Signs Your Radiator Might Need Attention
- Overheating Engine: This is the most obvious sign of a radiator issue. If your temperature gauge climbs higher than normal, it’s best to stop driving.
- Coolant Leaks: Look for puddles of coolant under your car. Leaks can indicate a cracked radiator, loose hose connections, or a failing radiator cap.
- Low Coolant Levels: A constantly low coolant reservoir could be a sign of a leak or coolant degradation requiring a system flush.
- Visible Damage: Check your radiator for any dents, cracks, or corrosion. These can compromise the radiator's ability to cool the motor.
At Platinum Automotive Services, we have ASE-certified technicians who can diagnose the problem and recommend the best solutions. Whether it's a simple repair like replacing a radiator cap or an entire radiator replacement, we’ve got you covered. We go beyond just repairs by checking your cooling system for potential issues and recommend preventative maintenance to avoid future problems.
