Cooling System & Radiator in Salisbury
Cooling system service covers the parts that stop your engine overheating — the radiator, coolant, water pump, thermostat, hoses and fans. In Adelaide's hot summers an overheating engine can cause serious and expensive damage, so keeping the cooling system healthy is well worth it.
If your temperature gauge is climbing, you've spotted coolant under the car, or you can smell something sweet and hot, get it checked before it gets worse. We pressure-test and inspect the system to find the cause, then quote you before carrying out any repair.
What's included
- Radiator inspection, repair and replacement
- Coolant inspection, flush and replacement
- Water pump replacement
- Thermostat replacement
- Hose and clamp inspection
- Cooling fan checks
- Pressure testing for leaks
The benefits of our cooling system service
Protect your engine
Overheating can cause major engine damage. Catching a cooling fault early helps you avoid a much bigger bill.
Built for our summers
Adelaide's north sees plenty of hot days. A healthy cooling system matters most when the temperature climbs.
Find the leak
We pressure-test the system to trace leaks rather than just topping up coolant and hoping.
Quote before work
We diagnose the cause, explain it, and quote before any repair goes ahead.

What to expect when you book in
No mystery, no runaround. Here's the honest version of how a booking goes — and what we'll need from you so we can get it right the first time.
Booking or dropping in
For servicing, diagnostics and repairs it's best to call ahead on 0481 309 775 so we can set aside the time. Quick jobs and questions are welcome as a drive-in — give us a ring first if you can and we'll let you know the best time to come by.
How long it takes
Times vary by vehicle and what we find once we're into the job, so we don't quote a one-size-fits-all turnaround. Tell us if you need the car back by a certain time and we'll do our best to work around it.
What to bring
Your logbook if it's a service, and a quick note of anything you've noticed — a noise, a light, a leak or a change in how it drives. The more you tell us, the faster we get to the cause.

Having your car serviced and repaired here doesn't put your new-car warranty at risk. Under Australian Consumer Law, work done by a qualified independent workshop to the manufacturer's schedule, using suitable quality parts, should not on its own void your warranty. We service to spec, use parts and fluids that meet the manufacturer's requirements, and stamp your logbook so your history stays complete.

General information, not legal advice — but it's how an honest independent workshop should work, and how we do.
Cooling System questions
Common questions about this service. Call us if yours isn't covered.
It's best not to. Continuing to drive an overheating engine can cause serious damage. Pull over safely, let it cool, and arrange to have it checked.
It depends on the vehicle and the type of coolant, but most manufacturers specify a replacement interval. We can check yours and advise based on its condition and your service schedule.
