Belts
We inspect accessible drive belts, tensioners and related components for wear, damage and operating concerns. Replacement recommendations depend on the findings and your vehicle’s specifications. We explain the proposed work and provide an estimate before repairs.
Coolant System Service
Coolant service depends on your vehicle, fluid condition, service history and manufacturer specifications. If you notice a leak, overheating or poor cabin heat, we recommend diagnosis before selecting a repair. Call (231) 246-8951 or request an estimate with your VIN, mileage and symptoms.
Hoses
Hoses transfer coolant and antifreeze throughout the engine’s cooling system (including the radiator). Sooner or later, your vehicle’s hoses will dry out and crack. When you are ready for a replacement you can count on Nogueira Automotive Mechanic, LLC for all your vehicle’s repair needs.
You not only have to get the hoses replaced with quality ones but you should have the work done by experts. To have the hoses replaced by auto cooling and heating experts – and get your car driving right – visit Nogueira Automotive Mechanic, LLC today. The mechanics at Nogueira Automotive Mechanic, LLC will thoroughly inspect your car’s hoses; replace all worn hoses; and adjust the installed hoses.
Radiator Flush
We inspect the radiator and cooling system to identify leaks, damage or other concerns before recommending service. A fluid exchange alone may not resolve an underlying fault. We explain the findings and suitable repair options, then request your approval before work begins. Contact our Muskegon shop at (231) 246-8951.
Radiators
Radiators are heat exchangers for cooling your car’s internal combustion engine. A radiator cools the engine by circulating an engine coolant through the engine block – it then loses the heat to the atmosphere through radiation. A radiator has a set of tubes through which the engine coolant flows. Fins surround these tubes. When the radiator fails, the excess heat produced by the engine could damage the engine components. To prevent this from happening, have your radiator serviced regularly. To have your radiator needs handled by experts, visit Nogueira Automotive Mechanic, LLC today.
