Consistent auto maintenance is an important part of keeping your vehicle running smoothly. Auto repair and maintenance does not need to be an intimidating experience. You should have your radiator and coolant serviced regularly, to prevent the need for serious engine repair in the future. The radiator is a crucial component of what's under the hood. The radiator is used for cooling the interior of combustion engines. Coolant first passes through the engine block, where it is heated. It then moves through the radiator tubes where it is cooled through a fairly complicated process, and passes back through the engine block, where it helps regulate the internal temperature. Without the radiator performing its vital functions, the engine would overheat and become damaged before you could say "Call me a tow truck." Here at Van Nuys Auto Works, we have the expertise and the knowledge to fix radiator problems, or simply to service them on a regular basis.
