Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a cooling system problem?
Watch for the temperature gauge climbing toward hot, steam from under the hood, a sweet smell (coolant leak), low coolant level, or a heater that stops working. Any of these warrant an immediate inspection.
What happens if I keep driving an overheating car?
Continued driving while overheating can warp the cylinder head, blow a head gasket, or seize the engine — repairs that cost far more than the original cooling system issue. Pull over and call us.
How often should I flush my coolant?
Most manufacturers recommend a coolant flush every 30,000–50,000 miles or every 2–5 years, depending on the coolant type. Old coolant becomes acidic and can corrode cooling system components from the inside.
My car is leaking green or orange fluid. What is it?
That's coolant (antifreeze). A coolant leak needs to be addressed promptly — it can cause overheating and engine damage. We'll pressure-test the system to find the source and repair it.
