Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care of West Mifflin

Cooling & Heating Systems in West Mifflin, PA

As far as most people are concerned, a car's cooling system has one purpose: to keep the engine from overheating. And there's little doubt that's an important part of its job.

But that's not all the cooling system does. In fact, something else it does that's extremely valuable is to help the engine heat up quicker and maintain normal operating temperature under a wide range of conditions. That allows the engine and transmission to operate more efficiently, and helps control vehicle emissions.

On most cars the cooling system also removes heat from the automatic transmission. And that's important because the transmission will begin suffer from high temperatures even before the engine will.

Finally, the cooling system provides heat to the passenger compartment through the heater core, to keep you cozy and comfortable on the coldest winter days. No doubt about it: your car's cooling system provides a lot of critical services to keep your car running properly and prevent damage. So it's obviously a system that you want to make sure is working properly.
