Diagnosis before parts
Making the right repair decision.
Continuing to drive an overheating vehicle can turn a small cooling-system fault into major engine damage. Stop safely, switch off and do not remove a hot pressure cap.
We check for external leaks, pressure loss, fan operation, thermostat behavior, coolant circulation and signs of combustion gases. The repair plan follows the evidence rather than the temperature warning alone.
