A/C Repair
Count on Import Authority to help keep your car’s cooling system operating safely and efficiently and avoid preventable repair expenses.
A properly functioning cooling system, which circulates antifreeze/coolant and dissipates the heat away from the engine, is absolutely necessary to prevent car overheating and destructive engine temperatures.
Your vehicle has five principal components in its cooling system.
- Radiator — an auto radiator has a set of tubes called the “core” that the coolant flows through. Cooling fins surround the core. As air passes through the fins, the coolant releases its heat to the fins, which dissipate the heat.
- Radiator cap — there has to be a place to pour in coolant and the radiator cap covers that filling hole. The cap is also designed to seal the system to a specific pressure.
- Radiator hoses — the coolant goes from the radiator to the engine through a series of hoses that are sturdy and flexible enough to handle engine vibration and high heat.
- Thermostat — like the device on your home heating/cooling system, the engine thermostat keeps the engine at the proper operating temperature.
- Water pump — this is the heart of the engine cooling system. It pumps coolant through the whole cooling system, and into the engine block.
Whether you need a coolant flush and refill, radiator repair, water pump replacement, or any other engine cooling component service, Import Authority can get it done.
