Engine Heating & Cooling Systems

Schedule Service

If your vehicle’s heating and cooling systems are malfunctioning, it can result in your engine overheating or not running as fuel efficiently and cleanly as it should. If your engine is too hot for too long, it may become seriously damaged.

Preventive maintenance is key to keeping your vehicle’s heating and cooling systems functioning correctly. Your VIP Certified Automotive Professional will check the water and coolant level in your vehicle’s radiator, inspect its cooling system for leaks, and check its thermostat and hoses.

  • VIP offers a warranty on most installed parts.
  • VIP stands behind our work with a labor warranty that matches the warranty on installed parts.

What to Do If Your Engine Overheats

If your engine temperature warning light goes on, doing the following may help:

  • Shut off your air conditioner and open your windows
  • If engine overheating continues, turn on your heater and blower
  • If stopped in traffic, shift to neutral or park and rev the engine slightly

If your engine’s temperature continues to rise:

  • Safely drive to the right side of the road
  • Stop your vehicle
  • Turn off the engine
  • Open the hood and wait for the engine to cool off
  • Do NOT open the radiator cap or add water until the engine is completely cooled

All-Season

All-Season tires are versatile and suitable for warm and cool climates, but not recommended for extreme hot or cold weather conditions because of specific rubber components.

All-Weather

Like their name suggests, all-weather tires are versatile and can perform well in a variety of weather conditions and can be severe snow-rated.

All-Terrain

With bigger treads than traditional all-season tires, all-terrain tires allow for both on and off-roading capabilities.

Winter

Winter tires are manufactured to perform well in snow, ice, sleet and other cold weather conditions. Winter tires are typically soft, with an intricate grooved tread pattern — made for holding compacted snow and creating traction — and are severe snow-rated.
