Radiator Repair and Cooling System Maintenance

Colorado’s Cooling and Radiator Experts Will Keep You at the Right Temperature

Overheating in the cooling system is the most common cause of mechanical breakdowns on the road, and that overheating can cause severe damage to the engine and the transmission. Coolant (also called anti-freeze) protects your engine from freezing. Coolant’s effectiveness can diminish over time, however, and it can lose many of its protective properties: in some cases causing your radiator to rust and corrode. The cooling system can also become blocked with built-up deposits from oil, grease, scale, hose decomposition, and other materials.

Coolant manufacturers recommend changing your coolant fluid every year, and some service manuals call for flushing and refilling your radiator every 24 months, regardless of mileage. Check your car’s owner’s manual, or come to your local Colorado AAMCO Center, where you can get information on the recommended interval for changing the coolant in your vehicle, or if you are an iPhone user, download our FREE iGAAuge application to keep track of your maintenance schedule.

AAMCO recommends changing the fluid every 24 months (minimum), or if you notice that your vehicle overheats, your coolant or temperature light comes on, your temperature gauge reads higher or lower than normal, or your heater does not work.
