With all the moving parts you’ll find on an engine, it should come as no surprise to learn that things can run hot under the hood. That’s why the radiator is such a vital component of any vehicle – it’s responsible for keeping the engine from overheating. If you notice the temperature gauge creeping into the red, don’t wait. Bring your vehicle into Garber Chevrolet Highland as soon as possible to have the radiator looked at.

You don’t want to go too long with the radiator malfunctioning. The radiator sends coolant throughout the engine to keep it at an optimal temperature. If it becomes damaged or starts to fail, it can no longer keep the engine cool, which can lead to dangerous overheating.

As soon as you notice the engine is overheating, pull over and turn the vehicle off. Running the engine while it’s overheating can cause it to seize up and lead to damage of vital components like the pistons and cylinders. In a worst case scenario, the engine could be damaged beyond repair.

Don’t take any chances. If you suspect there’s an issue with your vehicle’s radiator, bring it into Garber Chevrolet Highland to have it taken care of. Click the button below to schedule a service appointment today!
