Cooling System Repair in Fairbanks, AK

NAPA Warranty | University Chevron

Even in the frigid weather we often experience here in Alaska, engine overheating can still be a problem. Your vehicle’s cooling system has the important job of making sure that your engine runs at the optimal temperature. When your engine runs at the proper temperature, you’ll receive the best performance and gas mileage from your car, and ensure your safety on the road. If your engine runs too hot, it can quickly overheat which can cause engine failure, corrosion, part damage, and a vehicle that won’t run.

When the cooling system isn’t working correctly, your engine is at serious risk for damage which can be costly to repair. As soon as you recognize any type of issue with your vehicle’s engine or its running temperature, we invite you into University Chevron for an inspection. Our ASE certified master technicians will perform testing on your vehicle’s cooling system to determine where exactly the issue is occurring and how to fix it.

Within the cooling system are some major components, such as the radiator, thermostat, and heater core. The heater core is responsible for generating heat when you need it inside your vehicle’s cabin, but in order to do so it needs to cool down hot coolant by absorbing its heat. Therefore, a problem with your vehicle’s heater can also indicate a cooling system problem.

Any of the following symptoms can suggest you may need a cooling system repair:

  • Engine overheating
  • Check engine light is on
  • Steam coming from under the hood
  • Coolant leak or low coolant
  • Decreased gas mileage
  • White exhaust smoke

As soon as you notice an issue listed above or an overheating engine, it’s important to get your vehicle into our shop as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more damage will occur to your vehicle’s engine. Major engine repairs can be costly, so getting the issue taken care of as quickly as possible will save you both time and money.
