• Your cabin does not warm up in cold weather, or is just a little warmer than outside
• The defroster takes longer than typical to operate, or does not operate
• Your heater or A/C only functions when driving, not when idling, or quits blowing when the car is stationary
• Your heating system blows cold air, or the air conditioning blows warm air
• Low airflow even at the highest fan setting

• Examining the internal controls and blower

Belts

A fan belt (also commonly referred to as a drive belt) is a belt that connects your vehicle's engine to an assortment of accessories. The belt spins the water pump and engine fan, which help maintain a cool environment for the engine and its components. Through normal wear, your vehicle's fan belt may deteriorate and become worn and cracked. A-1 Auto Center can inspect your belts so you can be assured a belt will not break unexpectedly.

A-1 Auto Center can adjust existing belts or replace your worn belts with quality parts.

Radiator

Radiators help to control the operating temperature of your engine. They cool your vehicle's engine by circulating an engine coolant throughout the engine, then cooling the heated coolant in the radiator. A radiator has a set of tubes through which the engine coolant flows. Metal fins surround these tubes. When the radiator fails, the excess heat produced by the engine is not properly controlled and engine components can be damaged. To prevent this from happening, have A-1 Auto Center service your radiator as required. Visit A-1 Auto Center LLC today.
