Cooling system and heater repair in Kamloops

• Engine overheating

  If your temperature gauge climbs or a warning light comes on, the engine is running too hot. We check the coolant level, look for leaks, test the thermostat, the water pump and the cooling fans, and pressure-test the system, so we fix the cause instead of just adding coolant.

• Coolant leaks

  Coolant is usually green, orange or pink, and it often smells sweet. A puddle under the front of your car, or a coolant level that keeps dropping, means there is a leak. Common sources are hoses, the radiator, the water pump and the heater core.

• Radiators and hoses

  The radiator gets rid of the heat your engine makes, and rubber hoses carry coolant to and from it. Hoses get hard and crack with age, and radiators can leak or clog. We replace worn hoses and leaking radiators, then refill and bleed the system.

• Thermostat and water pump

  The thermostat controls how hot the engine runs, and the water pump moves coolant around it. A stuck thermostat can cause overheating, or an engine that never warms up and a heater that blows cold. A failing water pump often leaks or makes a whining noise.

• Heater not blowing hot

  Your car's heater uses hot coolant from the engine to warm the cabin. If it blows cold, the cause is often low coolant, a thermostat stuck open, a blocked heater core or a faulty blend door, the flap that mixes hot and cold air. In a BC winter, it's worth fixing quickly.
