Coolant System Inspection for Cars and Trucks
A coolant system inspection is essential for keeping your engine running at the right temperature and preventing costly repairs. Over time, coolant can break down, hoses can crack, and radiators may clog—leading to engine overheating, coolant leaks, and reduced performance.
At AAA Million Auto Parts, we recommend a professional coolant system check at regular intervals or whenever you notice warning signs like low coolant levels, rising engine temperature, or visible leaks.
What’s Included in a Coolant System Inspection?
-
Coolant Level Check – Ensures your engine has the proper amount of antifreeze.
-
Coolant Condition Test – Detects contamination, rust, or old fluid that no longer protects your engine.
-
Radiator & Cap Inspection – Confirms your radiator is cooling efficiently and the cap maintains proper pressure.
-
Hoses & Connections Check – Looks for cracks, leaks, or worn-out hoses that can cause coolant loss.
-
Thermostat & Water Pump Evaluation – Verifies that coolant is flowing through the system correctly.
Why a Coolant System Check Matters
Ignoring your cooling system can lead to engine overheating, blown head gaskets, or complete engine failure. A regular coolant inspection helps extend the life of your vehicle, improves performance, and saves money on expensive repairs.
If you notice signs like steam under the hood, overheating, or coolant puddles under your car, it’s time for a coolant system service.
