Have you ever had a cold or the flu and you’ve spiked a fever, causing your temperature to rise? It’s not fun to feel that way, is it? Being sick and overheated causes a person to be tired, and their performance drops significantly. Now imagine this same situation happening to your vehicle. When your radiator is not working properly, it is like giving your engine a fever. This not only harms performance, but can cause major damage. We know that a leak in your radiator can turn a messy situation into a major repair for your vehicle. Your radiator is one of your vehicle’s most vital components. The radiator displaces heat caused by your engine in order to keep the engine cool and running correctly. This is how a radiator works:
Ethylene glycol, better known as anti-freeze, is the neon green liquid that flows from your engine and then through your radiator to cool it. The liquid is able to cool by passing through tubes inside of the radiator. As the liquid passes through these tubes, the heat from the liquid is displaced by the tubes and small “fins” connecting the tubes of the radiator. The liquid flows through these fins and tubes and the surrounding air is warmed by the displacement of heat. The liquid’s heat is lost by allowing the radiator’s assembly to “radiate” the heat caused by the liquid into the air. A fan pushes that hot air away from the radiator. Air heats up fast, so replacing the warm air around the radiator with cool air is extremely important. When the coolant finally exits the tube and fin assembly of the radiator, it has been sufficiently cooled and passes through the engine again.
The first thing that our team of professionals will tell you is that it is best to keep your engine running cool as to allow the engine to run more cleanly and efficiently. This in turn will allow your engine to last as long as possible and keep it safe from abnormal wear and tear. If that leak is not fixed properly as soon as possible, your engine may overheat causing very costly damage including:

I had put off some much needed tire replacement during the pandemic but because of family circumstances I needed to travel within a very short window. Because of the great… read more reviews I contacted Joe's Tires and they were able to fit me in. They were professional and gracious. The staff were great, but especially Carlos who carefully provided an estimate, decritiption of the proposed work and detailed findings at the pick-up point. I felt the pricepoint was excellent for the work and the product. It was considerably less than what than the dealer proposed and time offered.I can't recommend them more.

This is the first shop I've taken my car and don't feel like I'm being overcharged for anything. This shop has the greatest customer service and quality of service for cars. They kept in close contact with me to keep me updated about my car meanwhile it was in their control which made me super happy to know it was in good hands.

This is now the third time I have taken my car to Joe's and Roberto always has made certain that my Bimmers are very well cared for and repaired properly… read more while there. They spent several days with my latest issue (brake fluid leak, power steering hose failure, transmission leak) and even went to the trouble to order the special tools just to work on this car! He also took pictures of the problems and texted them to me immediately, a great customer service policy. Truly service above and beyond and will get more of my business for sure. Thanks big time.

Came in to town to visit family and noticed I had a nail in my tire. I called the local Toyota dealership and was referred to Joe's tires. I stopped… read more by and met with one of the employees “probably not Joe” who spent 10 seconds looking at the nail and saying we can't do anything for you it's too much liability. We went to Orozco's down the street and tire was patched in 5 minutes. I don't understand how you can specialize in tires and have a direct affiliation with a dealership and can't take the time to not only evaluate the issue but potentially come up with a solution. I would have even purchased a new tire if that truly was necessary. Not a good experience. On the other hand I highly recommend Orozcos!
