Get ready for spike in cooling system leaks

Jan. 5, 2018
Bar’s Leaks highlights four solutions to repair cooling system leaks.

Harsh winter weather can result in many vehicles – especially older vehicles – being unable to keep their engines at a constant operating temperature due to a variety of cooling system leaks. When the inevitable onrush of demand for solutions to these problems comes through your doors, Bar’s Leaks offers several affordable first-option fixes for cooling system leaks.

“Just about when Daylight Savings Time ends and winter cold starts to kick in, our customers generally see a higher demand for Bar’s Leaks cooling system repair products. Our products have been protecting and repairing vehicle cooling system leaks since 1947,” says Jim Moffitt, vice president of sales and marketing for Bar’s Leaks. “Cold temperatures make leaks in the radiator, heating core, head gasket or freeze plug cry for attention. That’s why we encourage customers to be prepared and stock up to meet this seasonal demand.”

Here are four of Bar’s Leaks’ cooling system repair products. They are all designed to be added directly to the cooling system without flushing the antifreeze, and are compatible with both conventional green or blue (silicate-based) and extended life red/orange or yellow (OAT/HOAT) antifreeze or water.
