Summer heat can take a toll on your vehicle, so get a handle on repairs before any trouble occurs. You can score a great deal on used car parts to give your ride a boost during hot weather. Below are auto parts that will get you through the hottest season of the year.

3 Used Car Parts to Get Your Vehicle Ready for Summer

1. AC Condenser Fan

An AC condenser converts refrigerant from a gas into a liquid, so that it can move through the AC system. If the condenser is too hot, it can’t perform the necessary function to produce cold air. The AC condenser fan’s job is to keep the condenser cool, so that it can convert the gas properly.

2. Radiator

The radiator keeps your car running by pumping coolant around the engine to keep it cool. The radiator can malfunction if it becomes clogged with dirt, insects, or other debris. If the airflow becomes blocked, it can cause the engine to overheat. You can replace the radiator to ensure it doesn’t cause any problems in the summer heat.

3. Coolant Pump

The coolant pump, or water pump, is used to recirculate coolant through the radiator so that it can transfer heat away from the engine. It is the main component responsible for maintaining the correct flow to control the car’s temperature. If the coolant pump fails, it can cause total engine failure, so have the pump prepped for summer.
