Engine Coolant Leak Repair Service

Coolant leak repair is crucial for maintaining the health of your vehicle’s engine. A coolant leak occurs when there is a breach in the cooling system, allowing coolant to escape. This can lead to serious engine overheating, potential damage, and even engine failure if left untreated.

Where does coolant antifreeze leak from? The most common sources of coolant leaks are the radiator, radiator hoses, water pump, car thermostat, and heater core. If you suspect a coolant leak, it's essential to have it diagnosed immediately. Our expert technicians will quickly identify the leak's source and suggest the best repair solution.

Our comprehensive cooling system repairs include radiator hose replacement, radiator leak repairs, water pump replacement, and thermostat replacement. To prevent these issues, we recommend checking for leaks at least once a year and addressing overheating or antifreeze leakage immediately to avoid serious engine damage.

Radiator Repair & Recore Service

Radiator damage or coolant leaks are critical issues that can severely impact your vehicle's performance. These problems often arise from worn-out hoses, damaged fittings, or rust that cause coolant to leak, resulting in engine overheating. Over time, the radiator can also become clogged with dirt, debris, or sediment, reducing its ability to cool the engine properly.

What is a Radiator Recore? A recore involves replacing the internal core of the radiator, which helps restore its full functionality. If your radiator has experienced significant damage or wear, a recore can often be a more cost-effective solution compared to a full replacement. Signs that a radiator recore or repair may be necessary include:

Overheating Engine: If your engine is running hotter than usual, a damaged or clogged radiator may be unable to properly cool the engine, leading to overheating.
Leaking Coolant: A puddle of coolant under your vehicle or a sweet, syrupy odor while driving can indicate a radiator leak, which leads to coolant loss and overheating.
Low Coolant Levels: If you find yourself frequently topping off your coolant, it may signal a radiator leak or blockages in the cooling system.
Discolored Coolant: If your coolant looks rusty or discolored, it could be an indication of corrosion inside the radiator, potentially leading to failure.

Radiator Cap Failure: A faulty or damaged radiator cap can cause the coolant to boil over, resulting in a loss of coolant and engine overheating. Ensuring the radiator cap is functioning properly is an important part of maintaining your cooling system.

Radiator Hose Replacements

Radiator hoses are integral components of your vehicle's cooling system, responsible for carrying coolant between the engine and radiator. Over time, hoses can become worn, cracked, or damaged, leading to leaks and, ultimately, engine overheating. When radiator hoses are compromised, it's essential to replace them to prevent further issues.

We offer a variety of radiator hose replacement services, including:

Upper Radiator Hose Replacement: The upper radiator hose connects the top of the engine block to the radiator, allowing coolant to circulate through the system.
Lower Radiator Hose Replacement: The lower radiator hose connects the bottom of the engine block to the bottom of the radiator, completing the coolant circulation loop.
Heater Hose Replacement: The heater hose carries hot coolant to the heater core, allowing the vehicle’s interior to warm up. If this hose fails, you may experience a lack of heat inside the cabin.
Bypass Hose Replacement: The bypass hose connects the engine block to the thermostat housing, ensuring proper coolant flow when the engine is warming up.

Water Pump Replacement Service

The water pump is essential for circulating coolant throughout the engine and radiator to prevent overheating. If the water pump fails, coolant circulation will stop, causing the engine to overheat and possibly suffer damage. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it's time to consider a water pump replacement:

Whining Noise: A high-pitched whining noise coming from the engine could signal a worn-out bearing inside the water pump.
Wobbling Water Pump Pulley: A wobbling or vibrating water pump pulley is often a sign that the pump's bearings are failing.
Steam or Smoke from the Engine: When the water pump fails, it can cause the engine to overheat, resulting in steam or smoke coming from the engine compartment.

Benefits of Our Professional Water Pump Replacement:

Proper Installation: Our team ensures that the water pump is installed correctly, preventing future leaks and malfunctions.
Quality Replacements: We use high-quality, OEM or equivalent parts to ensure the reliability and longevity of your vehicle’s cooling system.
Expert Diagnosis: Our mechanics will thoroughly inspect the entire cooling system, including belts, hoses, and the thermostat, to ensure that all components are functioning properly.

Is Your Vehicles Radiator Coolant Leaking?

CHECKING FOR COOLANT LEAKS:

Coolant can leak from several vehicle components. Here's a breakdown of what to look for. Detecting a coolant leak in the radiator, hose, or heater core is the first step in repairing it. Then, by replacing the correct part or repairing the leak and topping up the antifreeze, it can protect your engines heating, cooling and radiator. So what should you do if you suspect your car, truck or SUV has a coolant leak? A few simple things you can do from your driveway to quickly check for a coolant leak is to check the antifreeze level within the reservoir and radiator:

Check your radiator coolant level - If you suspect an antifreeze leak, the first diagnosis is checking the radiator coolant level. When checking coolant, the engine should be stone cold. Remove the radiator cap and check that the antifreeze level is topped up. The coolant should be bright green, orange or pink. Dark green coolant or dirty antifreeze should be flushed. If it needs topping up, add antifreeze until the coolant level reaches the top and visit us to pressure test for a leak.

Check underneath your car for coolant fluid spots - Another simple diagnosis of leaking antifreeze is checking the ground for coolant spots beneath the vehicle. If you notice antifreeze fluid spots, check your coolant level all ensure all oil levels are topped up.

Check the antifreeze reservoir - Most vehicles coolant reservoir is sitting near the radiator with hoses attached. A visual inspection to check if the antifreeze level in the reservoir is between the low and high level marks can be done without removing the cap.

Check the radiator and radiator hoses - An old radiator that needs a recore or replacement will leak fluid from the radiator tubes. A small pinhole in the radiator or corrosion can also cause coolant to leak. The upper and lower radiator hose clamps or hose itself may be cracked or have a hole. If coolant is leaking it could be a simple tightening of hose clamps or a radiator hose replacement.

Check the heater core - Your vehicles heater core is underneath the interior dashboard. If coolant is leaking from the heater core, you may notice antifreeze inside the vehicle flooring or mats. Leaking coolant on the interior may also be accompanied by a sweet antifreeze and possibly fogging of the windshield.

Keep an eye on the temperature gauge - Another way to spot a coolant leak is by watching your temperature gauge. A vehicles temperature fluctuation is normal but usually remains constant. Any noticeable change in temperature is usually a sign that there’s a problem with the cooling system or a potential shortage of engine coolant.
