Heating and Cooling System

At Milex Complete Auto Care - Mr. Transmission of Cary, we believe in educating our customers. While some of our customers may be very familiar with the inner workings of their vehicles, others may not be. When discussing car repairs, you may have heard of the term radiator. Let’s break down what a radiator is and how it works. A radiator is the central part of your vehicle’s cooling system. Its primary function is to regulate your vehicle’s engine temperature and keep it from overheating. If your engine overheats, it can cause serious and costly damage to your vehicle. At Milex - Mr. Transmission of Cary, we have a staff of highly educated mechanics that are very familiar with the radiator and cooling system on your vehicle. To prevent an inconvenient breakdown or an expensive repair bill, it’s important to keep up with preventative maintenance for your cooling system.

Why Maintenance & Repairs Matter

If you didn’t know already, engine coolant is essential to both the heating and cooling performance of your car or truck. Without it, your vehicle won’t be able to maintain the cool temperatures you need in the summer, and it won’t be able to sufficiently heat the cab of your vehicle on a winter day. As with anything, engine coolant needs to be replaced at regular intervals. Engine coolant can break down, causing oxidation in your cooling system, which can lead to clogging and overheating. Typically, vehicle manufacturers suggest changing coolant after 60,000 miles and every 30,000 after that.

When you bring your vehicle to Milex - Mr. Transmission Cary for a coolant service, you can trust that our equipped and experienced mechanics will get the job done right. We thoroughly clean the cooling system and replace your engine coolant, protecting your radiator and preventing rust and corrosion in your cooling system. This will ensure that not only will the temperatures inside the vehicle stay comfortable, but that your engine is properly heated and cooled. You can protect your comfort and prevent costly breakdowns with a simple coolant service from the pros at Milex - Mr. Transmission of Cary. We are proud to help vehicle owners from our area, including Cary, Raleigh, Apex, Millbrook, Garner, and the surrounding area.

FAQs About Cooling System

What are the components of my cooling system?

The cooling system on your vehicle is made up of a water pump, cooling fan, coolant reservoir, radiator, thermostat, and hoses. Each piece plays a vital role in the function of your cooling system, and our professionals are highly trained to ensure that each is functioning properly.

When should I have my cooling system serviced?

If your vehicle is overheating, you should have it looked at by a professional as soon as possible. A cooling system service is also recommended at regular intervals according to your vehicle’s specifications, generally after 60,000 miles and then every 30,000 miles after that. The cooling system hoses should also be checked frequently and replaced as required.

What are typical problems that you see with cooling systems?

The most common form of wear and tear within the cooling system is the aging of the coolant and hoses. Over time, compounds within the coolant break down, and it cannot properly cool the engine. This can cause corrosion in other parts of the cooling system. Coolant hoses are designed to last for several years, but they weaken with age and exposure to heat. If the hoses break or crack, they can leak, which ultimately will cause the engine to overheat.
