Cooling System In Automobiles
You should never ignore an issue with your cooling system in the car. While they don’t seem like a big deal, small problems can turn into catastrophic engine damage overnight. Your repair costs skyrocket once the cooling system repairs become major, so don’t neglect proper maintenance and service.
At JP Auto & Fleet Services, the cooling system in automobiles is something we take very seriously. We know how important it is to keep you driving down the road, and we ensure that all of our work is done right the first time.
Coolant Service For Your Car
With a full coolant system flush combined with routine inspections, you’ll experience greater peace of mind on the road. Let’s face it; the last thing you want to do is sit on the side of the road on a hot day with your hood up and fluid running out of your car.
That’s why you want to regularly check your fluid levels and make sure you come in routinely for checkups. We’ll inspect the entire system, including your belts and hoses.
We offer a full cooling system and radiator flushes to ensure your engine has a fresh, clean supply of antifreeze. This doesn’t just help your fluids from freezing up or overheating but also helps to remove any contaminants. Additionally, for optimal comfort during scorching summers, consider our AC repair services to keep your vehicle’s interior cool and comfortable.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs A Coolant Flush
Your car might be telling you it’s time for coolant service. Look for these symptoms:
- The temperature gauge fluctuates between normal and hot
- The engine produces grinding sounds
- Coolant begins to pool under your vehicle
- Scaling or rust is seen in the coolant
- Smell like warm maple syrup from under the hood
- Visible steam coming out from under the hood
If you notice any of these signs or symptoms and are near the Dallas-Fort Worth or DFW areas, you want to call JP Auto & Fleet Services right away. We are conveniently located in Lewisville, Texas, and can help you avoid major engine failure.
The coolant flush cost is far less than what you’ll pay to replace an engine. Your car and budget will thank you for taking preventative measures.
Cooling System Pressure Test
We also perform a cooling system pressure test to look for leaks in the system as well as check your radiator cap. We always ensure that the system holds pressure for at least two minutes.
When no external leaks are found, but the cooling system doesn’t maintain pressure, the next step is to evaluate the car for a failed head gasket which allows the coolant into the oil passages or cylinders.
A properly running cooling system circulates your coolant through the radiator and engine. During this process, the heat levels are reduced. If it doesn’t function properly, the temperature of your engine rises and creates damage. That’s when the heads, or top end of the engine begin to warp and gaskets blow.
All of these are expensive repairs that can be prevented by caring for your cooling system and having regular maintenance with JP Auto & Fleet Services. These issues didn’t just happen overnight.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are some signs that my cooling system needs servicing?
Signs of cooling system issues include overheating, leaks under the vehicle, and low coolant levels. A sweet smell inside the cabin or a temperature gauge reading higher than normal can also indicate that you need to get a service. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s essential to have your cooling system inspected promptly.
How often should I have my cooling system serviced?
We recommend having your cooling system inspected and/or serviced at least once a year or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. However, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or extreme weather conditions, more frequent servicing may be necessary.
What components are included in the cooling system service?
Our cooling system service typically includes a visual inspection of the radiator, hoses, thermostat, water pump, coolant reservoir, and radiator cap. We also perform pressure tests with specialized equipment to check for coolant leaks, coolant condition, and proper functioning of the cooling fan.
Do you perform coolant flushes as part of your cooling system service?
Yes, we offer coolant flushes. A coolant flush helps remove old coolant and contaminants from the system. This enables optimal performance and prevents corrosion and buildup.
What type of coolant do you use in your coolant flush service?
We use high-quality coolant recommended by vehicle manufacturers to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Our coolant meets or exceeds industry standards for temperature regulation and corrosion protection. Usually indicated by color, manufacturers use different antifreeze/coolant formulas. It is important to stick to the formula designed for your vehicle
How long does a coolant flush service typically take?
The duration of a coolant flush service can vary. Usual factors include the vehicle’s make and model as well as the condition of the cooling system. On average, a coolant flush service can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete.
What should I do if my vehicle is overheating?
If your vehicle is overheating, it’s essential to pull over to a safe location immediately and turn off the engine. Do not attempt to open the radiator cap while the engine is hot as it can cause burns. Call for roadside assistance or have your vehicle towed to our shop for diagnosis and repairs.
