Heater is not working Inspection $94.99 - $114.99 Get a Quote

Hi there. One item that is often overlooked is the heater core. The coolant flows from the engine, through the heater core to supply heat for the heating system. It is possible that the heater core is blocked with debris; that might have caused the initial overheating problem that caused the head gasket to fail. It might be a good idea to have a professional mechanic come to your location and complete an heater inspection; specifically looking at the heater core, to determine if this is the source of your problem.
