Expert Cooling System Repair & Maintenance in Clearfield, UT
An overheating engine is more than just inconvenient—it can lead to major engine damage and expensive repairs. At Fowers Tire and Auto Care in Clearfield, UT, we specialize in comprehensive cooling system repair and maintenance to keep your engine running at the optimal temperature, regardless of the temperatures in Utah.
From your radiator to your water pump, we inspect and repair all visible components of your cooling system to ensure efficient performance and long-term reliability. We can also maintain your vehicle’s cooling system by changing the coolant/antifreeze and inspecting the visible belts and hoses. If we notice a problem, we will notify you so you can take the necessary action.
What Parts Make Up Your Vehicle’s Cooling System?
Your vehicle’s cooling system is a complex network designed to manage engine temperature and prevent overheating. Our certified technicians take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and maintaining this essential system.
Here’s more information on the components that are part of your vehicle’s cooling system:
- Radiator – The performance of the radiator can be compromised by leaks, blockages, and corrosion.
- Water Pump – This critical component circulates coolant through your engine. If it fails, so does your engine’s ability to stay cool. Water pump failure can result in significant engine damage.
- Belts and Hoses – A failed hose or serpentine belt can leave you stranded… even worse, it can cause severe engine damage.
- Timing Belt – While technically part of the engine’s internal workings, the timing belt often drives the water pump. Replacing it at the manufacturer’s interval prevents catastrophic engine failure and helps your cooling system run properly.
Why Preventive Cooling System Maintenance Matters
A failing cooling system doesn’t always announce itself with steam from under the hood. Minor issues—such as a slow coolant leak or a worn hose—can go unnoticed until the damage is already done. That’s why routine inspections are key.
At Fowers Auto and Tire, we check the visible parts of your cooling system during every scheduled maintenance visit. If we notice early warning signs, we’ll let you know before it becomes a larger and more expensive problem.
