“My temperature gauge climbs in traffic”

When should I ask about cooling system repair?
- My temperature gauge climbs in traffic
- Coolant is collecting under my car
- My engine runs hot on long hills
What problems can cooling system repair address?
“Coolant is collecting under my car”
A hose, radiator, water pump or fitting can leak. Pressure testing helps locate the source; never remove a cap while the system is hot.
“My engine runs hot on long hills”
A restricted radiator, weak circulation or combustion leakage may become apparent under load. Stop safely if it overheats and arrange diagnosis instead of continuing the climb.
What's included in cooling system repair at Johnny's?
Because we run the only dedicated radiator bench left on the High Desert, cooling work does not get farmed out. Repairs, recores and replacements happen in house at our D Street shop.
Overheating can also come from a stuck thermostat, a lazy electric fan, an air pocket or a head gasket pushing combustion gas into the coolant. Testing tells us which, before you spend money.
