What we see
Common issues in East Austin
East Austin's older vehicle population means cooling system failures that reflect their age. Radiator hoses that are brittle from age, thermostats that stick closed, water pumps with worn impellers on Hondas and Toyotas with 150k+ miles. A lot of these vehicles have never had a coolant flush — they're running acidic coolant that's slowly eating the system.

Questions
Common questions
Can you fix a cooling system in East Austin?
Yes — radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, coolant flush, cooling fan, pressure testing. We work in driveways and apartment lots near 183.
What are signs my coolant needs to be flushed?
More than 5 years or 60k miles in the system is the threshold. Coolant that looks brown or rusty instead of green, orange, or pink. A coolant test strip that shows the inhibitors are depleted. We can test it at the appointment.
How serious is an overheating warning?
Very serious. If the temperature gauge is in the red or the warning light is on, stop driving immediately. Continuing to run a hot engine risks warping the cylinder head — a repair that costs several times what the cooling system fix would have.
