Belts & Hoses
Heater Hose Replacement
Heater hoses have a crucial job in your vehicle’s heating and the cooling system. When you’re running the engine a huge amount of heat is produced. This heat will need to be transferred away from the engine to avoid overheating and future breakdowns. Heater hoses will carry the coolant to prevent overheating. Coolant / antifreeze goes through the engine, takes the excess heat, and will carry the heat away from the engine. Signs that heater hoses are near the end of their life are becoming brittle & hard or soft & mushy, or they’ll crack causing a coolant leak leaving a pool underneath your vehicle. If this happens,let us here at Autoboys llc replace your heater hoses. A faulty and leaky hose will not heat your vehicle effectively, the cooling system won’t sustain the necessary amount of coolant, and will lead to your engine overheating. We encourage you to periodically inspect your heater hoses to avoid being without proper heating and cooling. Contact us today!
Radiator Hose Replacement
Your vehicle’s radiator hoses, connects the engine to the radiator, are important components to maintaining a consistent inner engine temperature. Radiator hoses move the hot coolant away from the engine and into the radiator, where the coolant flows to cool down. The engine reaches extremely high temperatures, making the coolant extremely hot. Over time this can cause the radiator hoses to deteriorate from the inside out. Replacing your radiator hoses will minimize the chance of engine failure and breakdowns. All the heat, vibrations, and corrosion contribute to deteriorating the radiator hoses. Lookout for a coolant leak in either green, red, or yellow liquid as it’s a sign of a cracked or corroded radiator hose. Not replacing bad hoses can cause serious engine damage with overheating or catastrophic failure. Be sure to contact our service staff to have your radiator hose replaced. Contact us today!
Serpentine Belt Replacement
Serpentine belt powers varying processes in the front of your engine, failure of the belt will result in failure of the other processes. If the serpentine belt fails to power the water pump, an important part of the cooling system, your engine could overheat and break down. Steering would also be impossible without a fully functioning belt. Regular inspections can keep your serpentine belt operating as intended. Visual inspections are the best way to detect early signs of serpentine belt issues, like frays and cracks. Trouble turning or steering at low speeds is another sign of possible belt failure. A loose belt can result in overheating, engine noise, or a dead battery. Manufacturers advise adhering to specific maintenance intervals for scheduling a serpentine belt replacement.

Located outside of the engine, the serpentine belt conveys power from the front of the engine to the air conditioning system , charging system and other systems. Factors that contribute to the depletion of your belts & hose are your vehicle’s age, mileage, oil contamination, belt tension, electrochemical degradation, and horde clamp failure. Overall a routine maintenance & replacement of your vehicle’s belts and hoses will help avoid future breakdowns and costly repairs. Belts and hoses have one of the shortest life spans compared to other vehicle components. This is due to the constant exposure to engine heat, vehicle vibrations, and destructive chemicals, which all can lead to cracks and leaks. Signs that your belts and hoses are fizzling out are squeaking, screeching, or grinding noises that happen when starting your engine or when driving. Other signs of a faulty belt or hose to look for are loss of power, leaking coolant or other fluids, illuminated dashboard lights, rising steam from the engine, and air conditioning failure.
