Is it the Thermostat or Radiator

Heater is not working at all

Explanation

If you turn on the heat, and you don't get any hot air coming out from the vents, the common reasons for that are:

Thermostat is stuck open
Heater core is clogged
Heater control valve is malfunctioning
Blend motor is not working properly

There are few things you can check. If the temperature gauge is not moving up to the proper operating temperature when you start the car, more than likely the thermostat is stuck open (you need new thermostat). When you turn the fan on high speed, if you don't get proper amount of air coming out, then the problem could be with the blower fan or resistor or even clogged cabin air filter. It’s best to have a my mobile mechanic diagnose the problem on a scan tool, and go from there.

Importance of a a transmission service

The Transmission fluid change is required at regular maintenance intervals and requires pan removal if the vehicle doesnt have a pan drain plug. The vehicle is raised and supported and the bolts holding the pan in place are removed with a suitable catch pan placed under the transmission pan and the pan removed from the vehicle. Any remaining gasket material is removed from the mating surfaces. The new gasket is installed and the transmission pan bolts installed and torqued to specification. The transmission is filled to the proper level with manufacturers recommended fluid and checked for leaks.
