Summer heat is hard on cars. Your engine creates a lot of heat when it runs, and the cooling system keeps it from getting too hot. Coolant flows through the engine, picks up heat, and carries it to the radiator. Air passing through the radiator cools things down. When something goes wrong with this process, engines overheat quickly. Drivers around Hamlet see plenty of hot days each year.
Several parts make up the cooling system. You have a radiator, water pump, thermostat, and rubber hoses. Hoses get old and crack after a few years. Coolant wears out, too. Belts stretch and fray with age. A quick check before warm weather hits can save you from breaking down on a busy North Carolina road.
The team at Griffin Toyota can look at your cooling system and spot trouble early. Our service center flushes old coolant, swaps out bad hoses, and tests radiators. Come see us on U.S. Highway 74 East Business and get your car ready for the hot months.
