Geoff Perry Motors Recommends Regular Maintenance

Geoff Perry Motors, a family-owned, trustworthy independent automotive workshop, underscores the necessity of understanding and maintaining your car's radiator and cooling system. Preserving these essential elements is not just vital to your vehicle's performance but is also crucial in avoiding costly damages.

As we dive into the world of car radiators, we want to make one fact particularly clear - radiators typically feature two reservoirs. The main tank, also known as the radiator, and an overflow tank. As a vehicle owner, understanding which tank is which holds great importance for the health of your car's cooling system. Why, you might ask? It's simple, if you solely fill the overflow tank, the risk of the main radiator running dry becomes an unwelcome reality. Consequently, this could lead to significant and expensive engine damage.

Many vehicle owners may be unaware of this fundamental difference and therefore, unintentionally overlook filling up the main radiator tank. Therefore, Geoff Perry Motors is devoted to ensuring our customers understand these essential aspects, offering comprehensive and understandable information, ensuring you never accidentally bypass crucial steps in vehicle maintenance.

Moving onto the matter of coolant fluid - its discoloration can often signal a requirement for radiator maintenance. An efficient radiator should ideally contain brightly colored fluid, green, red, blue, yellow or orange. However, if you notice that the coolant fluid in your car has discoloured, it may indicate the radiator needs flushing. In such scenarios, cleaning and adding fresh coolant is imperative. Neglecting this can result in rust and debris build-up in the radiator, hindering your car's performance, and potentially leading to more serious mechanical issues.

In light of this, our team at Geoff Perry Motors emphasises the importance of radiator pressure flushing to effectively remove compromised coolant and any trapped debris. Regularly carrying out a radiator pressure flush significantly contributes to extending your vehicle’s performance, life and reliability. When your radiator is not properly maintained and is choked with residue, it prevents the optimal operation of your vehicle’s cooling system, escalating into a full-blown mechanical nightmare over time. 

Pressure flushing comes to the rescue in such scenarios, facilitating the complete evacuation of all remnants and the installation of new coolant. We encourage our clients to have this preventative measure executed regularly by experts for a seamless, hassle-free experience and robust vehicle health. Geoff Perry Motors specialises in thorough pressure flushing for radiators, implementing an unrivaled meticulous approach that guarantees maximum satisfaction and peace of mind.
