Cooling system service involves maintaining and repairing the components that keep your engine at the optimal operating temperature—typically 195-220°F. This includes the radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, coolant, and cooling fans. At E1 Auto Care in Arlington, we see a lot of overheating issues, especially in Texas summer heat when engines work harder and cooling systems are pushed to their limits. We recommend coolant flushes every 30,000-50,000 miles and annual inspections of hoses and components. An overheating engine can cause thousands in damage, so if your temperature gauge climbs high, pull over safely and call us at (817) 652-2690.
