How can I tell if my heater core is leaking?

A few telltale signs point to it. A sweet syrupy smell inside the cabin, a greasy fog on the inside of your windshield, or a damp spot on the front passenger floor usually mean coolant is leaking from the heater core into the cabin. If you notice any of those, visit Hunts Point Service Station so that we can confirm the leak and its source. Stop in during Mon-Fri: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM | Sat-Sun: Closed.

Can a clogged heater core be flushed instead of replaced?

Sometimes, yes. If the heater core is just partially clogged with sediment, a flush can clear it and restore heat without a full replacement. But if it is leaking or heavily corroded, flushing will not fix it and replacement is the reliable route. The team at Hunts Point Service Station can take a look and recommend what is suitable in your situation.

My car has no heat. Does that always mean the heater core?

Not always. A clogged or leaking heater core is one common cause, but no heat can also come from low coolant, a stuck-open thermostat, or a stuck blend door. A helpful clue is that if your air conditioning is out too, the heater core usually is not the culprit. The trustworthy team at Hunts Point Service Station can pin down the real cause so you are not paying to replace the wrong part.

How to Improve Your Car’s Gas Mileage?

June 7, 2023
How to Improve Your Car’s Gas Mileage? Here are some of the things you can do to ensure improved gas mileage for your car: Driving Habits Keep your car clean. Mud on the undercarriage can weigh a significant amount and slow you down. Consolidate your daily trips and errands. This will also save you the cost of restarting your engine, which uses a lot of gas. Avoid air conditioning when possible. However, when driving at higher speeds, having your windows open also creates drag. Don’t throttle the gas or brake pedal! Sudden starts or stops use more gas than gradual changes in speed. Don’t idle for too long. Turn off the engine if you anticipate a lengthy wait. Limit car warm-ups in winter. Clear out the trunk. More weight equals more drag. Avoid high speeds. We know this is almost impossible to resist but you can improve your gas mileage by up to 15 percent driving at 55 mph rather than 65 mph. Use overdrive. If your car is equipped with overdrive gearing use it as soon as your speed is high enough. Use cruise control. Maintaining a constant speed is ideal for improving your gas mileage. Servicing Your Vehicle Replace the spark plugs in your engine regularly. This way, the air and fuel mixture will burn cleaner and more efficiently. Improve the intake/output system. By allowing gas to get in and exhaust out of your vehicle you will improve the vehicle’s overall performance and gas mileage. Reduce friction. Use high-quality or synthetic motor oil. Check your oil! Low oil makes your engine work harder. Change your filters. Dirty filters can sometimes increase the amount of fuel your vehicle uses by as much as 10 percent. Keep tires properly inflated and aligned. Check regularly to ensure your wheels are fully inflated and your alignment is good. Get regular engine tune-ups and car maintenance checks. A lot can go wrong with a car. Damaged spark plugs or transmission problems can also contribute to poor gas mileage.
