Your car’s cooling system is critical for preventing engine overheating, especially during New Mexico’s warmer months. Key components like the radiator, water pump, and hoses work together to keep your engine cool, and any failure in this system can cause serious damage.

• Hoses and clamps: We recommend replacing hoses every 50,000 to 75,000 miles, or roughly every four years. Worn clamps should also be inspected and replaced as needed.
• Coolant: To maintain optimal cooling performance, replace your coolant every two years or 30,000 miles.

If you’re experiencing overheating, leaks, or strange smells under the hood, bring your car to our Corrales location. Our technicians will quickly identify the issue and repair or replace the faulty components to get you back on the road safely.
