Don’t Let a Hot Engine Leave You Stranded Radiator & Water Pump Services in Central NC There is no sight more stressful for a driver than seeing the temperature gauge spike into the red or steam billowing out from under the hood. An overheating engine is not just an inconvenience; it is a critical emergency. Driving even a few miles with an overheated engine can warp your cylinder head, blow a head gasket, or completely seize the engine, turning a minor repair into a catastrophic expense.

Comprehensive Cooling System Solutions Expert Diagnosis for Radiators, Pumps, and Hoses The cooling system is complex, with multiple components working together to keep your engine at the optimal temperature. When one fails, the whole system fails. We inspect and repair every part of this vital loop:
Radiator Replacement & Repair The radiator is the heat exchanger that cools the fluid flowing through your engine. Over time, plastic tanks can crack, and metal cores can corrode or clog. We perform pressure tests to find hairline cracks and replace your radiator with a high-quality unit to restore proper cooling efficiency.
Water Pump Replacement The water pump is the “heart” of your cooling system, circulating fluid through the engine block. If you hear a high-pitched whining noise or see coolant dripping from the front of the engine, the pump bearing or seal may be failing. We replace water pumps and timing belts on-site to prevent total engine failure.
Thermostat Replacement This small valve regulates the flow of coolant. If it gets stuck in the “closed” position, coolant cannot flow to the radiator, causing the engine to overheat almost instantly. It is a small part with a big job, and we can replace it quickly to get your temperature gauge back to normal.
Coolant Hoses & Clamps Rubber radiator hoses endure extreme heat and pressure every time you drive. Over time, they become brittle, soft, or swollen, leading to sudden bursts. We inspect all upper and lower hoses and heater core lines, replacing any that show signs of dry rot or weakness before they leave you stranded.
Heater Core & Climate Control Is your car overheating, but your heater is blowing cold air? This often points to an air pocket in the system or a clogged heater core. We troubleshoot heating issues to ensure your cabin stays warm in the winter while your engine stays cool.
Coolant Flush & Exchange Old coolant loses its anti-corrosive properties and can turn acidic, eating away at your engine from the inside out. We perform a complete fluid exchange, removing sludge and contaminants, and refilling your system with the manufacturer-specified coolant type for your specific vehicle.
