Cooling System in Dearborn, MI

The cooling system keeps your engine at its designed operating temperature, and when it fails the damage happens fast. AutoTech Clinic repairs radiators, thermostats, water pumps, hoses and fans, and diagnoses overheating at 24100 Michigan Ave in Dearborn.

An engine that overheats once can warp a cylinder head. If your temperature gauge is climbing, pull over and call (313) 277-7200 rather than trying to make it to the shop.

(313) 277-7200

What causes a car to overheat?

The most common causes are low coolant from a leak, a thermostat stuck closed, a failed water pump, a cooling fan that is not running and a radiator blocked inside or out. We pressure test and watch live temperature data to find which one it is.

Can I drive my car if it is overheating?

No. Pull over somewhere safe, switch the engine off and let it cool. Driving an overheating engine warps cylinder heads and can destroy head gaskets and bearings within minutes. Call us at (313) 277-7200 and we will advise.

How often should coolant be changed?

Most modern long life coolants are specified between 60,000 and 150,000 miles or five to ten years. Coolant loses its corrosion protection over time even when it still looks fine, so we test it rather than going by color alone.

Can I top up with water in an emergency?

Water will get you off the road in a pinch, and in a Michigan winter it will also freeze and crack things. Treat it as a short term measure only, and have the system drained and refilled with the correct coolant mix soon after.

Do you do cooling system repairs the same day?

Thermostats, hoses, fans, radiators and most water pumps are commonly same day repairs. Water pumps driven by a timing belt take longer. We will tell you which yours is before the car comes in.

Why does my coolant keep disappearing with no leak?

Coolant that vanishes with nothing on the ground usually goes one of two places: into the cabin through a leaking heater core, or into the engine through a failed head gasket. Both have distinct tests, and we run them before guessing.
