Protect Your Vehicle with Routine Hose Maintenance at Walzem Tire & Brake Shop - Your vehicle’s hoses are essential to the operation of several key systems, including the cooling system, air conditioning, power steering, and engine. These components carry vital fluids and maintain pressure, helping your vehicle run efficiently and safely. Among the most critical are the heater hoses and radiator hoses, which circulate coolant between the engine, radiator, and heater core to regulate temperature and ensure proper performance.

What Causes Hose Wear? Over time, hoses naturally degrade due to: 

• Vehicle age and mileage
• Hose clamp failure
• Electrochemical degradation (ECD)
• Oil contamination
• High engine bay temperatures—especially in the Texas heat
• Ignoring worn or damaged hoses can result in leaks, overheating, and even sudden breakdowns.

• Extend the life of your vehicle
• Improve overall performance
• Prevent breakdowns and expensive engine damage
