Warning signs
When to bring it in
Catch it early and it usually costs less. If you notice any of these, book a check.
Temperature gauge climbing
If it heads into the red, pull over safely and turn the engine off. Driving hot can damage the engine.
Coolant on the ground
A green, orange or pink puddle under the front of the car usually means a leaking hose, radiator or pump.
Low coolant, again
Topping up every few weeks means coolant is going somewhere. A pressure test finds where.
No heat inside
A stuck thermostat or low coolant can leave you with cold air in the middle of winter.
Steam or a sweet smell
Steam from the hood or a syrupy smell inside points to a coolant leak.
Whining from the front
A noisy or wobbly water pump can be on its way out. We check before it fails.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if my car overheats?
Pull over somewhere safe and turn the engine off. Don't open the radiator cap while it's hot, because the coolant is under pressure. Then call us or book a check.
How often do I need a coolant flush?
It depends on the car and the coolant it uses. Your owner's manual gives the interval, and we can test your coolant and tell you if it's due.
How much does cooling system repair cost?
A cooling inspection starts at $100, a coolant flush at $200 and a thermostat at $250. We confirm a firm quote before any work begins.
Can I just top up with water?
In an emergency, water gets you home. After that, the system needs the right coolant mix to protect against freezing and corrosion.
