Radiator Service and Repair Near Me in Glendale Heights | Sunrise Chevrolet

Even if you don’t know all the ins and outs of an engine, you know that they tend to run very hot. And that makes sense – the engine is several moving parts working together to propel a vehicle forward. All that motion produces energy that becomes heats. A radiator is part of the cooling system that keeps the engine from getting too hot, making it a vital part of what keeps your engine running.

A radiator works to distribute coolant throughout the engine, keeping it at a comfortable temperature so it can run at an optimal level. When there is damage to the radiator, it’s not able to regulate the engine’s temperature as well. That means your engine is more likely to overheat and more likely to break down and leave you stranded on the side of the road.

An overheating engine isn’t something to trifle with. If you notice the temperature gauge going into the red or overheating, immediately pull over and turn the vehicle off. When your engine gets too hot, it can seize up and cause damage to vital engine parts like the pistons and cylinders. If the damage is bad enough, the engine can be destroyed, leaving you stranded.
