Frequently Asked Questions
What are signs that my radiator needs attention?
Common warning signs include an overheating engine, coolant leaks, and low coolant levels. You might also notice a sludge-like substance in your radiator or rising temperature gauges. If you experience these issues, contact us at Christian Brothers Automotive Southaven for a thorough inspection. Darkened coolant color or a sweet smell inside your vehicle can indicate radiator problems. Addressing these early symptoms can prevent more significant and costly damage.
How often should I have my radiator serviced?
We suggest checking your radiator during each routine maintenance visit or at least once a year. Regular coolant flushes help prevent corrosion and maintain efficiency, protecting your engine from overheating. Given Southaven's unique climate, aligning maintenance schedules with seasonal changes optimizes your radiator's year-round performance.
What does a radiator replacement entail?
Radiator replacement involves removing the old unit, flushing the cooling system, and installing a new radiator. We use manufacturer-quality parts to ensure a perfect fit and function. Our team thoroughly tests the system post-installation for optimal performance. This comprehensive approach ensures longevity and reliability, especially needed in Southaven's diverse driving conditions.
Can I drive with a damaged radiator?
Driving with a damaged radiator can lead to engine overheating, causing severe engine damage. It’s best to avoid driving and contact Christian Brothers Automotive Southaven for prompt repair or replacement to avoid costly repairs. Sudden breakdowns due to radiator issues can be inconvenient in Southaven's variable climate, so addressing them promptly is crucial for safety and peace of mind.
