🛑 STOP! Before you check your coolant level, remember the #1 Rule of Radiators: NEVER open the cap while the engine is hot. Opening that cap on a hot engine is like opening a shaken-up soda bottle, but with 220-degree liquid.

The best way to go about it is to check the "overflow" plastic reservoir (the see-through tank) while the engine is cool. If it’s below the "Full" line, give us a call. We’ll top you off and check for the "why" behind the low level!

We often get asked: " Can I just buy one of those recharge cans from the parts store?" 🤔

The truth is, your A/C is a sealed system. If it needs more refrigerant, it means there is a leak somewhere. Adding a "quick fix" can often introduce air or moisture into the system, which can eventually ruin your parts. Our mechanics can recover the old refrigerant, vacuum-test the system for leaks, and refill it to the exact amount required by the manufacturer. Do it right the first time and stay cool all summer long! 🧊

You wouldn't try to run a marathon while breathing through a straw, right? 🏃‍♂️ That’s exactly what your engine is doing when it has a clogged air filter. Your engine air filter is the only thing standing between that grit and the internal components of your motor. A dirty filter restricts airflow, which forces your engine to work harder and burn more fuel just to keep up. Stop by our shop for a filter change and all your other maintenance needs!

Your cooling system’s job is much harder in the spring and summer as the ambient temperature rises. Coolant does more than just prevent overheating, but it also contains additives that protect your water pump and radiator from internal rust and scale. Over time, that fluid becomes acidic and loses its protective properties. A cooling system flush is a simple preventative service that can save you from a much more expensive head gasket or radiator replacement down the road.

Quick tip: Take a quick look under your car in the morning. If you see bright green, orange, or pink fluid on the driveway, give us a call before that small leak becomes a big problem.
