Let’s Get to the Core of the Problem.

Are you having car trouble?  Did someone mention that it could be your heater core?  You might be wondering what the heck a heater core is, what it does, and what can happen to your vehicle if and when it breaks.  Not to worry, these are common questions and we’re about to give you some quick and easy answers.

1.  What does the heater core do?  It is a smaller version of your radiator.
2.  Where is it located?  It is behind the dashboard and usually buried beneath other things.
3.  How do you know that it has gone bad?  A fog develops, there is a sweet smell, you are using too much coolant, the heater just stops working.

The Light You NEVER Want to See.

It’s the dreaded check engine light.  No one wants to see it, and NO ONE should ignore it!  The first thing you should think of is a serious problem that requires your immediate attention.  Check the dashboard for additional lights to see if the engine is overheating.  If so, pull over to the side of the road and put on your flashers as soon as possible.

The most common causes for a check engine light are –

1.  A loose gas cap
2.  The oxygen sensor
3.  A spark plug issue
4.  The catalytic converter
