Keep Your Engine Cool: Radiator and Cooling System Services
An efficiently functioning radiator and cooling system are essential for maintaining your vehicle’s engine temperature within the optimal range. Overheating can lead to severe engine damage, affecting your car’s performance and potentially leading to costly repairs. Common causes of overheating include coolant leaks, a faulty thermostat, or a damaged or clogged radiator. Mobile Automotive Solutions specializes in diagnosing and repairing radiator and cooling system issues, offering convenient on-site services at your home, office, or preferred location.
Recognizing Overheating Issues
If your car is running hot or overheating, it’s crucial to address the problem immediately to prevent further damage to your engine. Signs that your cooling system may need attention include:
- Increased Engine Temperature: The temperature gauge reading higher than normal is a clear indicator of cooling system issues.
- Coolant Leaks: Puddles of coolant (often green, orange, or pink fluid) under your car are a telltale sign of a leak.
- Steam from Under the Hood: Steam or smoke coming from under the hood can indicate that your engine is overheating.
- Unusual Engine Noises: Overheating can cause your engine to make knocking or pinging noises due to thermal expansion.
Cooling System Repairs and Services

- Replace or Recondition Radiator: Depending on the condition of your radiator, we can either replace it with a new one or recondition it to ensure optimal cooling efficiency.
