Cooling Fan
The cooling fan pulls air through the radiator to keep your engine from overheating, especially when you're idling or driving slowly in traffic. If your temperature gauge climbs when stopped or your engine runs hot, the fan or its motor may have failed. We test and replace the cooling fan and its motor to keep your engine at a safe temperature.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my cooling fan is bad?
The most common sign is the engine overheating while idling or in slow traffic, but cooling down once you're driving at speed. You may also hear the fan not turning on or notice it running constantly.
Can I drive with a broken cooling fan?
It's risky. At highway speeds airflow may keep things cool, but in traffic or at idle your engine can overheat quickly, which can cause serious and expensive damage. It's best to have it fixed right away.
