Radiator Service

Ford Radiator Service

Radiator Service in Gastonia

Every car, truck, van, and SUV with an internal combustion engine comes equipped with an engine cooling system, including a radiator responsible for dissipating engine heat away from the engine. As summer temperatures rise, very few vehicle components are as important as the radiator. The radiator is vital to your vehicle’s engine cooling system and works by cooling the fluid passing through a series of metallic fins. The radiator allows heat to flow from the coolant fluid out the engine bay easily.

However, if the Radiator gets dirty or damaged, the ability for it to dissipate engine heat becomes compromised. A dirty or damaged radiator is a significant threat to your vehicle’s engine because it can cause overheating. Without adequate heat removal, the engine can overheat in a matter of seconds. Tindol Ford provides world-class Radiator Service for all makes & models including vehicles from Gastonia, Charlotte, Mt. Holly, and Belmont, NC.

Here are the warning signs related to a dirty or damaged radiator:

  • Coolant fluid leaking – puddles found on the floor toward the front of the engine
  • Vehicle runs hotter than normal or overheats
  • Coolant has a sludgy consistency inside the radiator
