Your vehicle relies on a variety of automotive fluids that need to be serviced and changed from time to time in order to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Fast Lane Automotive offers the best fluid exchange service in Orlando, FL, and is available for all your automotive fluid services and needs.
Making Your Car Last Longer & Ride Smoother
Having your fluids checked, exchanged, and replaced on a regular basis has a lot more to do with how much you’ll enjoy your car than you might think.
Regular fluid maintenance increases your car’s lifespan, helps it run as smooth as butter, and has the ability to significantly decrease the number of times it needs to be repaired.
But even more importantly: Every car is going to break down now and then, but deploying a committed and regular regimen of fluid replacement and exchanging has the power to reduce those costs by orders of magnitude. Yes, it’s that important!
And it goes without saying: Oil is the lifeblood of your car. Lack of just this one fluid, should it run out, will cause your entire engine to seize up. There is NO coming back from this! You have to replace the ENTIRE engine to fix it, so don’t let this happen to you.
Let Fast Lane Automotive exchange those fluids so your car stays nice and healthy!
The Importance of Heating & Cooling System Maintenance
There are several fluids that you need to be aware of in your car or light truck (we’d be happy to discuss these with you at any time). But for now, let’s focus on your car’s heating and cooling system:
Heating & Cooling System Services
Failure of the heating and cooling system is the #1 cause of the roadside breakdown, which is why heating and cooling system service is such an important part of maintaining your vehicle.
Your vehicle’s engine generates a lot of heat. That heat can be beneficial because it warms up the engine to operating temperature and warms the oil so that it can circulate easily to lubricate vital engine parts. At the same time, if the heating system is not kept under control the engine can overheat and be severely damaged. If you notice that your vehicle is beginning to overheat, it’s very important to have the heating and cooling systems checked as soon as possible to help avoid some of the worst engine damage and repairs.
We recommend having your heating and cooling system inspected regularly to help identify any possible problems before a component fails. Parts such as the radiator, hoses, cooling fans, water pumps, and thermostats can wear out or begin to develop leaks. Bring your car or truck into our Service Center, or schedule an appointment to have one of our expert technicians inspect your entire heating and cooling system to make sure there are no problems.
Why Should You Flush And Refill Your Vehicle’s Engine Cooling System?
Neglecting your vehicle’s cooling system can and will lead to a progressive failure of engine components such as water pumps, internal engine gaskets, freeze plugs, and aluminum parts deterioration. Also, heater core and radiator leaks can occur. These failures can be costly to repair and can result in being stranded!!!
You see, after about 2 years the lubricants and additives in the antifreeze start to lose their effectiveness due to constant changes in engine temperature and electrical forces. A chemical reaction between engine coolant flowing over different metals within the engine cooling system and antifreeze will begin to react with the electricity from the numerous electrical components. This reaction will force a change in the pH balance of the coolant and changes it to an acidic state, which in turn corrodes the engine metals and cooling system components which causes premature parts failures, gasket leaks, and costly repairs.
