SERVICE OVERVIEW

Although gasoline engines have improved a lot, they are still not very efficient at turning chemical energy into mechanical power.

Most of the energy in the gasoline (perhaps 70%) is converted into heat, and it is the job of the cooling system to take care of that heat. In fact, the cooling system on a car driving down the freeway dissipates enough heat to heat two average-sized houses! The primary job of the cooling system is to keep the engine from overheating by transferring this heat to the air.

Our professionals know how to handle a wide range of car services. Whether you drive a passenger car or medium sized truck or SUV, our mechanics strive to ensure that your vehicle will be performing at its best.

POPULAR QUESTIONS

Why does my car overheat?

Anytime anything moves, it creates friction, which creates heat. Sir Isaac Newton had a whole lot to say about this.

There is a lot of movement in your car and if not watched after and properly maintained, your car will begin to overheat and could cause irreversible damage to your car. Any time your temperature gauge elevates or you start to see smoke coming from the hood of your car, stop it immediately and check things out.
Is cooling only an issue during the summer?

No. Again, friction causes heat, so even in the dead of winter, your car can easily overheat. Don’t put off this service or ignore any warning signs just because it is February.
How do I know when my cooling system should be looked at?

With regular visits and proper checkups of your vehicle, it should never really be a problem for you.

Much like a doctor, BBack Car Care keeps track of all service done on your car and makes suggestions on when certain systems should be serviced. Many of our services include multi-point inspections so we’ll more than likely offer a suggestion to have this cooling system serviced when the time is right.
