Winners Circle Tire and Auto Tech Question On Your Cooling System

Last Updated: May 04, 2021

Winners Circle Tire and Auto Tech Question:
I was driving down the freeway in Cresco and smoke started coming out of my car. I pulled over and called my husband. I had to be towed to my Cresco mechanic. He said my car had overheated. What can I do to prevent that in the future?

Winners Circle Tire and Auto Answer:
Oh, sounds like a rough experience. Unfortunately overheating is the most common engine failure in Cresco . It's also one of the easiest to prevent.

The basic idea is this: you need to keep enough coolant/antifreeze flowing through your vehicle engine to keep it cool. Problems come for Cresco drivers when they develop leaks in their systems – like in the radiator or a hose – and the coolant leaks out. Sometimes the coolant gets so contaminated that it blocks up the radiator so the coolant can't get through. Enough of that and you end up broken down on the side of the road.

Your owner's manual recommends a schedule for coolant replacement. That's because your coolant actually becomes corrosive over time and starts to eat away at the cooling system, causing leaks or blockages. New coolant stops that process.

Ask your friendly and knowledgeable pros at Winners Circle Tire and Auto about inspecting your vehicle cooling system for leaks, spongy hoses and other damage. If it's time to replace your coolant, hoses or other cooling system parts, have it done right away at Winners Circle Tire and Auto in Cresco. Prevention at Winners Circle Tire and Auto is the key.
