Complete Heating & Cooling System Services We Offer

 

Cooling System Diagnostics

If your vehicle is overheating, losing coolant, running hotter than normal, or displaying a temperature warning light, our ASE Certified technicians perform comprehensive cooling system diagnostics to accurately identify the problem. We inspect the entire cooling system for leaks, worn components, pressure loss, restricted coolant flow, and performance issues before they become costly engine repairs.

 

Cooling System Pressure Testing

Coolant leaks aren’t always easy to see. Pressure testing the cooling system can help identify leaks from radiators, hoses, fittings, water pumps and other components that may only leak when the system is hot or under pressure. Accurate testing helps us find the source of coolant loss rather than guessing which component needs repair.

Radiator Repair & Replacement

Your radiator removes excess heat from the engine and helps maintain proper operating temperature. A leaking radiator, clogged cooling passages, or damaged cooling fins can reduce cooling efficiency and lead to engine overheating. We provide complete radiator inspections, repairs, and replacements to restore proper cooling performance.

Coolant Leak Detection & Repair

Even a small coolant leak can eventually cause major engine damage if left untreated. Our technicians inspect hoses, clamps, radiator tanks, heater hoses, freeze plugs, heater cores, water pumps, expansion tanks, and cooling system connections to locate and repair coolant leaks before they become larger, more expensive problems.

Water Pump Replacement

Your water pump continuously circulates coolant throughout the engine, radiator, and heater core. When it begins to fail, it can cause overheating, coolant leaks, unusual noises, poor cabin heat, and engine damage. We diagnose and replace worn water pumps using quality replacement parts to restore proper cooling system performance.

Thermostat Replacement

The thermostat regulates coolant flow and helps your engine reach and maintain its ideal operating temperature. A faulty thermostat can cause overheating, poor heater performance, fluctuating engine temperatures, reduced fuel economy, and increased engine wear. We inspect and replace thermostats as part of complete cooling system service.

Coolant Flush & Cooling System Maintenance

Coolant naturally breaks down over time, reducing its ability to protect against corrosion, freezing, overheating, and internal engine wear. Our coolant flush service removes contaminated coolant, cleans the system, and replaces it with the manufacturer-recommended coolant to maximize cooling performance and extend the life of your radiator, water pump, thermostat, and engine components.

Heater Repair & Heater Core Service

A properly functioning heater does more than keep you warm—it also helps defrost your windshield and improve visibility during cold or wet weather. If you’re experiencing little or no cabin heat, fogging windows, coolant odors inside the vehicle, or coolant leaking into the passenger compartment, our technicians can diagnose and repair heater core issues, heater hoses, blower concerns, and related heating system components.

Automotive Air Conditioning (A/C) Service & Repair

Your vehicle’s air conditioning system keeps you comfortable while helping remove humidity from the cabin for improved visibility and comfort. If your A/C isn’t blowing cold air, produces unusual noises, has weak airflow, or cycles inconsistently, our technicians provide complete A/C diagnostics and repair services.

Our air conditioning services include:

  • A/C system diagnostics

  • Refrigerant leak detection

  • A/C compressor replacement

  • Condenser replacement

  • Evaporator diagnostics

  • Expansion valve and orifice tube replacement

  • Cabin air filter replacement

  • A/C performance testing

  • Refrigerant evacuation and recharge

  • Climate control diagnostics

Whether your air conditioner simply isn’t cooling like it used to or has stopped working altogether, we’ll accurately diagnose the issue and recommend the repairs needed to restore reliable performance.

CAR OVERHEATING? DON’T IGNORE IT.

 An overheating engine can be caused by low coolant, coolant leaks, a   failing thermostat, water pump problems, radiator issues, cooling fan   failures or other cooling system problems. Continuing to drive an   overheating vehicle can lead to serious engine damage, including   cylinder head or head gasket problems.

 If your temperature gauge is climbing into the hot range or you see an   overheating warning, safely pull over and shut the engine off. Do not   remove the radiator cap while the cooling system is hot or under   pressure. Have the vehicle inspected to determine what’s causing the   overheating before continuing to drive.

 Why Is My Car Losing Coolant?

 If you’re repeatedly adding coolant, there’s usually a reason. Coolant   loss may come from a radiator, hose, water pump, thermostat housing,   heater core or another part of the cooling system. Some leaks are easy   to spot, while others may only appear when the engine is hot and the   system is under pressure.

 Our technicians inspect and test the cooling system to locate the   source of the coolant loss before recommending repairs.
