Crosse Auto Repair

The water pump plays a major role in the operation of our vehicles. When talking about auto repair we generally think of maintenance items like belts, hoses, tires, brakes, oil change etc. A failed water pump just isn't something we think of needing replacement. Our vehicles just will not run if the coolant is not circulating through our vehicle's engine. Yes, the water pump is a very important car part! Eventually the fuel pump will fail. You may notice a growling or squealing noise coming from the engine area. You may also see coolant leaks under the vehicle around the timing belt area. You may also get the notification of low coolant. The NAPA link below has some great information on the water pump as well as a couple videos.

The following 5 repairs need to be completed sooner than later for this very reason. 1. Worn engine/motor mounts. These mounts hold your engine in place.

It's easier to just add the oil or power steering fluid. Over time this bad habit will cause other issues. 4. Worn shocks and struts. These rarely go bad overnight.

Most of us don't think too much about our exhaust system until... something happens, and our vehicle starts making this incredibly loud noise! It becomes so loud that we can't even carry on a conversation, we can't hear the music playing and EVERY person we drive past begins staring at us! Don't let this happen to you! Make an appointment and have your exhaust system checked so you don't have to be that person everyone is staring at.
