Best Radiator Repair in Richmond, BC

A Car Owner's Mishap ❄️🚗nn👋Hey everyone! Wanted to share a customer story from this morning as a little heads up.nnThis car owner thought it was no big deal to swap out the coolant with plain water in the radiator. Turns out, this seemingly innocent move caused a pretty major issue. With the recent snowy weather, the water in the radiator froze because, well, it's just water.😱nnThe driver didn’t realise the problem and kept on driving. Unfortunately, the vehicle had a breakdown on the road due to a burst water pipe, leaving it stranded. The driver brought the car to our shop for emergency services. (See Image 2) To kick things off, we had to use a heater to thaw and defrost the undercarriage.🛠🚨nnIn modern cars with water-cooled engines, coolant circulates through the engine to control temperature. But in the dead of winter, adding regular water to the engine can lead to freezing, potentially causing damage. That's why automotive engineers developed antifreeze coolant, specifically design for winter use to prevent freezing.nn🚩This story is a reminder that when it's frosty out, always go for professional antifreeze coolant to steer clear of freezing issues. Let's all make sure our rides cruise smoothly and safely through the chilly winter months! 🚙❄️ nn#Winterdriving #coolant #SafeDriving...
