Engine running hot? Pull over, then call us
An overheating engine gets expensive fast. Stop driving, let it cool, and call. We come to the car, find where the heat or the coolant is going, and price the fix before we start.

What the temperature gauge is telling you
Climbs in traffic, drops on the highway
A classic sign of a radiator fan that isn't running. At speed, air through the grille does the fan's job.
Climbs steadily wherever you drive
Low coolant, a thermostat stuck closed, a blocked radiator or a failing water pump.
A puddle under the car or a sweet smell
A leak from a hose, the radiator, the water pump or a loose clamp. Green, orange or pink fluid is coolant.
The heater blows cold and the gauge sits high
Often low coolant. Don't keep topping it up without finding out where it's going.
A guide, not a diagnosis. A pressure test tells us for certain.
What we fix
- Radiators
- Hoses and clamps
- Thermostats
- Water pumps
- Radiator fans, fuses and relays
- Coolant leaks
Some water pumps are driven by the timing belt and sit deep in the engine. That's a bigger job, and if it needs our shop and a lift, you'll know before we start.
Safety first
Never open the radiator cap on a hot engine. The coolant is under pressure and can scald. Wait until the engine has cooled down.
What it costs
It depends on the part and the car, so we quote the labor and parts for your car before any work starts.
The number we give you before work begins is the number you pay. Find something else on the car? We call you first, and nothing gets added without your OK.

Overheating, answered
How far can I drive an overheating car?
As little as possible. Pull over when it's safe and switch the engine off. Every extra mile risks a warped cylinder head or a blown head gasket.
Can you replace a radiator at my house?
Yes, on most cars, in the driveway or a parking lot. If yours needs a lift, we'll tell you before we start.
Can't I just add coolant?
To get home, yes, once the engine has cooled down. But coolant doesn't disappear on its own. We find the leak so you're not adding more next week.
