As drivers in Phoenix AZ, Mikes Auto Repair knows how important it is to keep ourselves cool while we go about our daily lives, and it is just as important to make sure your car can keep from overheating.

Radiator RepairThe radiator is not a particularly complex component of a vehicle; however if you let it go without checking its health you may find yourself surprised at the damage it can cause. A few simple steps will ensure that your radiator does not turn into a maelstrom of cash stealing steam. For example, most drivers are not aware that it is best to have a radiator coolant flush about once every two years.

Let’s go over a few problems that could lead to your radiator performing less than perfectly or at the worst, overheating. Quite often people simply forget to check for proper coolant levels, this can put significant strain on the radiator and cause it to overheat or corrode the radiator fins. It is always prudent to check for proper coolant levels before a long trip. Another problem that arises from time to time is a collapsed bottom radiator hose. A collapsed radiator hose generally occurs when the hose has degraded over time or a slight vacuum has formed due to the expansion and contraction of the coolant.

If for any reason your car does begin to overheat, one way to disperse heat from out of the radiator is to turn on the heater and let it run, although uncomfortable it may help save your vehicles radiator from a complete meltdown.
