HEATING AND COOLING

Keeping your vehicle cool under the hood may only mean a quick part replacement, or it could involve more complex repairs. Our technicians can perform a detailed inspection of your vehicle's cooling systems to determine what work is needed.

The key components we replace or repair are:

radiator
radiator cap
radiator hoses
radiator fan/fan clutch
anti-freeze
water pump
thermostat
fan belts
serpentine belt
cooling sensor
heater core
heater hoses

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend replacement of the anti-freeze at scheduled intervals. Unlike many service shops that just perform a "drain-and-fill", Firestone Complete Auto Care provides a complete radiator flushing service that includes the following:

inspect system and pressure test for leaks
add flush chemicals to the radiator
power flush system through flush machine
refill system with proper amount of recycled anti-freeze
add sealant/lubricant to the system
6-month/6,000-mile limited warranty*

*See your auto advisor for complete terms and conditions of written, limited warranties.
