Cooling System Inspection

One of the most performance and reliability sensitive components of your vehicle is your cooling system. Regardless of whether you run a fleet of semi-trucks, operate a heavy-duty construction vehicle, or a driver of industrial equipment, maintaining the temperature of the engine will save you expensive failures and the engine life will be prolonged. We offer all-inclusive cooling system checks to fleets, commercial and heavy-duty trucks at Berks Auto Repair in Reading, PA.

Our ASE-certified mechanics can provide HVAC cooling system or diesel engine cooling system checks to keep your trucks and equipment on the road without overheating.

The Importance of Cooling System Inspections

Your engine temperature is kept at a controlled level by the cooling system which circulates the coolant in the radiator, hoses, water pump and thermostat. So, a poorly maintained system might experience overheating, broken engine blocks, burst head gaskets or costly downtimes.

Our inspections cover:

• Overheating of the cooling system.
• Checks on the corrosion of radiators.
• Checks on the level of fleet antifreeze.
• Coolant flow diagnostics
• Truck thermostat checks.
• Radiator and fan clutch services.

This is the most important tool in preventing emergency repairs to cooling systems in the event of businesses in Berks County.

Fleet and Commercial Cooling System Services

1.      HVAC Cooling System Check

With climate control vehicles, we do a HVAC cooling system check to verify that there is good airflow and that the passengers are comfortable without causing too much energy consumption.

2.      Heavy-Duty Coolant Flush

Our suggestion is to perform regular heavy-duty coolant flushes to get rid of contaminants, rust and scale. Clean coolant also prevents corrosion as well as temperature control.

3.      Construction Vehicle Cooling Check

Our department is involved in inspection of construction vehicle cooling systems, which ensure that bulldozers, loaders, and excavators operate effectively when they are overloaded.

4.      Diesel Engine Cooling System Service

Our services on the diesel engine cooling system include semi-trucks and heavy equipment that requires specific needs of the diesel engine, which produces increased heat.

Important Cooling System Inspection Areas

·         Check Performance of water pump

To ensure that their circulation and flows are current, our technicians undertake fleet vehicle water pump inspections and performance checks.
