Understanding Your Vehicle’s Heating System
Keep Warm and Save with a Healthy Car Heater!
When cold weather hits, your car’s heater becomes essential for comfort and safety. But did you know it can also help save you money by preventing bigger problems?
How Does It Work?
Your car’s heater works by using heat from the engine. As the engine runs, hot coolant flows through the heater core, and a fan blows that heat into your car, keeping you warm.
Know the Signs
If you’re getting cold air instead of heat, it could be a sign that the coolant is low or the thermostat isn’t working properly. Coolant leaks can also cause the heater to blow cold air, and left unchecked, they can lead to more serious engine problems. Another warning sign to watch for is strange smells when the heater is on. Mold or a coolant leak into the cabin could be the culprit, and both issues need immediate attention.
Money Saving Tip
To avoid expensive repairs, it’s a good idea to check your coolant levels regularly and get your heating system inspected. A little maintenance can go a long way toward keeping your car running smoothly and your heater working when you need it most.

Your vehicle should not make a loud clunk each time you hit a bump. If you hear a clunking noise over bumps, there may be a worn or loose part in the suspension or steering system.
Your vehicle should stay straight when you press the brake pedal. If your car pulls left or right when braking, there may be a problem with the brakes, tires, or suspension.
When people think about brake service, they usually think about brake pads or rotors. One part that often gets overlooked is the brake fluid.
Your engine needs three things to run: air, fuel, and spark. Spark plugs provide that spark every time you start your vehicle. Even though they are small, they have a big job.
