Auto Repair in Jacksonville, FL

Here are some of the most frequent car troubles we hear about and why they happen. Living and driving in the greater Jacksonville area is pretty sweet deal. From a hot urban scene to the 22 miles of saltwater beach, there’s a lot to see and do — and drive to! Owning a car in this area comes with some unique auto care, so we’ve put together a list of some common repair and maintenance jobs we perform and why they happen. Overheating Jacksonville is known for having warm temperatures year-round with some intense heat in the summer. This means that any car, truck, or SUV on the road in the area experiences some extra strain on its cooling system compared to more mild climates. When cooling systems reach their limit, your car can overheat. Here is why that happens… Broken water pump. This is the part of your cooling system that pushes coolant through the engine. When an over-worked pump shuts down, the vehicle overheats. Leaky seals. The hoses that transport coolant though your car can wear out over time — a common issue in any climate. Leaky seals mean less coolant is available to help your engine “chill out.” Bad radiator. A radiator will cool down used coolant as it cycles through the engine. A taxed radiator can shut down, leaving heated coolant pumping through your engine. When your car overheats, all sorts of components can be damaged.
