  • Coolant condition inspection
  • Leak and coolant loss detection
  • Water pump and thermostat check
  • Cooling system pressure test

Cooling system inspection is often part of routine maintenance and general engine diagnostics, however in some cases a more detailed inspection is required. For example when coolant becomes dark in color, has an unusual smell, or the coolant level slowly drops over time. In these situations FIX SERVICE performs a deeper cooling system diagnostic that includes checking coolant condition, possible oil contamination, system pressure, hose integrity, thermostat operation, water pump performance, and signs of air pockets or abnormal noises in the system. This process helps identify the cause of coolant loss, coolant contamination, or unstable cooling system operation. Because this type of inspection requires additional time and a more detailed evaluation of the cooling system components, it is performed as a separate diagnostic procedure.
