Fan Belt Replacement
The fan belt/drive belt connects the vehicles engine to the water pump and engine fan. As the name suggests it helps to keep your engine cool. Over time the fan belt can get dry and crack. All belts will need replacing eventually. Without professional inspection it can be hard to tell when it will need replacing. You should consider having it checked between 40,000-70,000 miles as a general rule.
Visit Fred’s Auto Center for a comprehensive check of your vehicle’s belts.
Radiator Service & Replacement
The radiator is part of your vehicle’s cooling system, it helps to keep the engine cool and utilizes coolant to help achieve this. Without an effective radiator your engine can deteriorate fast from overheating. To prevent damage to your engine’s components your radiator should be periodically serviced.
