Car Heating System Repair – Keeping Your Car Warm in the Winter
The heater in your car is basically a smaller version of the cooling system’s radiator. Heat is produced during the engine’s combustion action. It is absorbed by the coolant in your car’s radiator and circulated through the heater before going back to the radiator. A fan then distributes air over the heater core and into the passenger compartment of your car.
Like your car’s radiator, the heater core can become clogged with rust or sludge, and you will need to have your car heater system repaired. If you have no heat or you smell the sweet aroma of engine coolant when your heater is on, chances are you have a small leak in the heater core requiring car heater repair. At Country Road Auto, we can help get your car’s heating system operating properly so you and your passengers remain nice and warm during the winter months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Country Road Automotive diagnose a car air conditioning problem?
Country Road Automotive’s trained technicians inspect the air conditioning system for potential problems, including loose belts and refrigerant leaks. If a leak is suspected, a dye injection leak test may be performed to help locate the source of the problem.
Can Country Road Automotive recharge my car’s air conditioning system?
Yes. When needed, Country Road Automotive can evacuate and recharge the vehicle’s air conditioning system as part of the repair process. The system should first be inspected to determine why it is not cooling properly.
Why isn’t the heater in my car getting warm?
A lack of heat can be caused by a problem within the vehicle’s heating or cooling system. For example, the heater core can become clogged with rust or sludge, preventing the system from heating the passenger compartment properly.
What does a sweet smell when I turn on my car heater mean?
A sweet smell similar to engine coolant when the heater is operating can be a sign of a small heater-core leak. Country Road Automotive can inspect the heating system and determine whether heater-core or other heating-system repairs are needed.
Can preventive maintenance help avoid car A/C and heating repairs?
Yes. Preventive maintenance can help identify developing air conditioning and heating system problems before they lead to a breakdown or more expensive repair. Country Road Automotive’s technicians inspect cars, vans and trucks for potential maintenance issues that may require attention.
