New Mexico’s hot climate can put a strain on your car’s cooling system, especially in Bernalillo where summer temperatures climb. Your radiator, water pump, and hoses work together to keep your engine cool and prevent overheating. A failure in any of these components can lead to significant engine damage.

Routine maintenance is key—our team recommends replacing hoses every 50,000 to 75,000 miles and flushing your coolant every two years. If your vehicle shows signs of overheating or leaks, we’ll quickly identify the issue and repair or replace the necessary parts to keep you safely on the road.
