Signs Your Car Needs Help

Your car usually gives you warning signs before a cooling system problem becomes serious. Here's what to watch for:

• Temperature gauge reading higher than normal
• Steam or white smoke coming from under the bonnet
• Puddles of green, orange, or pink fluid where you park
• Sweet smell when the engine is running
• Heater not working properly in winter
• Engine warning light on your dashboard
• Needing to top up coolant more often than usual

If you notice any of these problems, give us a call. The sooner we check your cooling system, the less chance of expensive engine damage. Our mobile mechanic Adelaide service means we can come to you the same day in most cases.

What We Fix

We handle all types of cooling system problems at your location. Here's what we do:

Leak Repairs

Coolant leaks can come from many places. We find where the leak is coming from and fix it properly. This might be a small hole, a loose hose, or a damaged seal. Sometimes a quick repair saves you from needing expensive parts.

Radiator Flush

Over time, rust and dirt build up inside your cooling system. A radiator flush cleans everything out and refills it with fresh coolant. This helps your engine run cooler and makes your cooling system last longer. We recommend this service every two years for most cars.

Radiator Replacement

Sometimes a damaged or blocked unit can't be fixed. When that happens, we replace it with a quality new one. We carry common sizes in our van, or we can order the exact part your car needs. Most replacements take just a few hours.

Thermostat Service

The thermostat controls coolant flow through your engine. When it stops working, your car might overheat or never warm up properly. Replacing a faulty thermostat is a quick job that makes a big difference.

Hose and Clamp Repairs

Old hoses can crack and leak. We check all your cooling system hoses and replace any that look worn. We also make sure all clamps are tight and not corroded.

Water Pump Issues

The water pump pushes coolant through your engine. If it fails, your engine will overheat quickly. We can diagnose water pump problems and replace them at your location.

Need other repairs while we're there? We also handle brake repairs, suspension work, and alternator problems as part of our complete mobile mechanic service.

Our Repair Process

We follow a clear process to fix your cooling system properly:

Step 1: Check Everything

First, we test your whole cooling system to find the exact problem. This includes checking for leaks, testing coolant strength, looking at hoses and belts, and making sure all parts are working. We use pressure testing equipment to find even small leaks that are hard to see.

Step 2: Explain What's Wrong

Once we know what the problem is, we explain it in plain English. No confusing technical talk. We show you what needs fixing and give you an upfront price before we start any work. No hidden costs or surprises.

Step 3: Fix It Right

We use quality parts and do the job properly the first time. Whether it's a simple hose replacement or a full radiator change, we make sure everything is done to high standards. All our work comes with a warranty for your peace of mind.

Step 4: Test Everything

After the repair, we test the whole system again. We check for leaks, make sure the engine reaches the right temperature, and verify everything is working as it should. We don't leave until we're confident your car is safe to drive.
