Car Heating Repair & Service in Rochester, MI
Keep Your Car Warm and Safe During Michigan Winters
When temperatures drop, a reliable heating system is essential for comfort and safety. At South Street Auto Care, our technicians specialize in diagnosing and repairing car heating issues to keep you warm and your windshield clear through Michigan’s coldest months.
How Your Car Heater Works
Your vehicle’s heating system uses engine coolant to create warm air inside the cabin. Hot coolant flows from the engine through the heater core, where the blower motor pushes air across it and into your vents. The system relies on proper coolant flow, a functioning thermostat, and a working blower motor to keep the interior comfortable.
When any part of this system fails, your heater may blow cold air or struggle to defrost the windshield.
Signs Your Heater Needs Service
- Air from the vents is cold or only slightly warm
- Defroster takes too long or doesn’t clear windows
- Coolant leaks or a sweet smell inside the cabin
- Weak or noisy airflow from the vents
- Engine temperature fluctuates more than normal
Addressing these issues early prevents larger repairs and helps keep your vehicle safe to drive in winter conditions.
