Cooling system repair
We pressure test the system to find where coolant is going, then repair the radiator, pump, thermostat or hoses that are actually at fault.
Why book with us
Cooling system repair with clear advice.
An engine that runs hot or keeps losing coolant should be looked at quickly. Left alone, overheating can warp the cylinder head and turn a small leak into a much bigger repair.
We pressure test the cooling system, check the thermostat, fan and water pump, and trace leaks from hoses and the radiator. If the signs point to a head gasket problem instead, we will tell you plainly and explain the next step.

Common questions
- What should I do if my car starts overheating?
- Pull over when it is safe and switch the engine off. Never open the coolant cap while hot, as it is under pressure. Driving on while overheating can cause serious engine damage.
- Why does my car keep losing coolant?
- Common causes are a leaking hose, radiator, water pump or expansion tank cap. If there is no sign of a leak outside the engine, we check for internal causes such as a head gasket.
- Can I just top up with water?
- Water will get you home in an emergency, but it dilutes the antifreeze and corrosion protection. The system should be refilled with the correct coolant mix once the leak is fixed.
