Cooling System

Keep Your Engine Cool and Protected Year-Round

Every time your engine runs, it generates intense heat — and without a working  cooling system, that heat can lead to serious damage. Your vehicle’s  coolant system  works continuously to manage engine temperature and prevent overheating, no matter the conditions outside.


At Stone Automotive, we offer expert diagnostics, maintenance, and repair services to keep your  radiator system, water pump, and thermostat  functioning efficiently — so your vehicle stays safe and smooth on the road.

How the Cooling System Works

Your   automotive cooling system  is made up of several parts working together to control engine heat. Here’s how it functions:


  1. Water Pump  – Circulates coolant (a mix of water and antifreeze) through the engine
  2. Radiator Hose & Car Radiator  – Transfers heat away from the engine and cools the fluid
  3. Cooling Fan  – Boosts airflow to cool the radiator
  4. Thermostat  – Regulates coolant flow based on engine temperature
  5. Radiator Cap  – Maintains system pressure for efficient coolant circulation


If any of these components fail, your vehicle may overheat — risking engine damage or breakdown. That’s why regular checks at Stone Automotive are essential to  overheating prevention.


Common Cooling System Issues We Fix

🚨   Radiator Leaks
Signs: Rust spots, puddles under the vehicle, overheating
Solution: Pressure testing, cooling system flush, or   radiator replacement  if needed


🚨   Water Pump Failure
Signs: Whining noises, coolant leaks, rising engine temps
Solution: Replace the pump or surrounding   seals and gaskets  for improved coolant flow


🚨   Faulty Thermostat
Signs: Engine overheating or taking too long to warm up
Solution:   Thermostat replacement  and inspection of other   cooling system  components


Our technicians are trained to detect and fix any problem — from cracked hoses to malfunctioning   coolant sensors  — so your engine stays protected.


When to Schedule Cooling System Maintenance

Regular service helps extend the life of your  engine cooling system  and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Here’s what we recommend:


  • Cooling system flush  every 30,000–60,000 miles
  • Coolant replacement  every 2–3 years (or as specified in your owner's manual)
  • Immediate service if you notice   leaks, temperature spikes, or poor HVAC performance


If your coolant contains silicates or you frequently drive in extreme conditions, you may need service even sooner. Our team can help determine the right interval for your vehicle.
