Cooling System Repairs
A car cooling system service should be undertaken every second year at a minimum. Even if the cooling system appears to be working efficiently, there still may be underlying issues such as leaks or rust. Leaving your car cooling system unchecked and potentially ignoring issues can lead to costly repairs and even an engine rebuild or replacement.
Cooling System Service
As well as this, a cooling system service will ensure there is still protection against overheating and cooling. Not using antifreeze in your car cooling system can directly cause corrosion, shortening the life of parts and resulting in coolant being lost. Booking in routine services on your car cooling system will avoid more costly repairs further down the line. Aside from the usual checks within the service, Tony Allen Auto Service will drain old fluid, flush the system and add new coolant.

Common Cooling System Issues
Radiator Repair
A functioning radiator is essential for keeping your engine cool and preventing overheating. Radiator issues, such as leaks or blockages, can significantly impact your vehicle’s performance. Our radiator repair services address all common problems, ensuring your engine stays within the optimal temperature range.
Radiator Flush
Over time, contaminants can build up in your radiator, reducing its efficiency. A radiator flush clears out old coolant, debris, and sludge, allowing your cooling system to function effectively. Regular radiator flushes can prevent overheating and prolong the life of your cooling components.
Radiator Replacement
If your radiator is beyond repair, a replacement is necessary to maintain your vehicle’s cooling efficiency. We offer comprehensive radiator replacement services, installing high-quality parts to ensure your engine remains cool and protected under all driving conditions.
Water Leaks
Water leaks in your cooling system can lead to low coolant levels and overheating. Common sources of leaks include hoses, seals, and the radiator itself. We specialise in locating and repairing water leaks to keep your cooling system sealed and efficient.
Coolant Flush
A coolant flush is vital for removing old coolant and contaminants from your cooling system. This service not only restores the proper mix of antifreeze and water but also helps protect your engine from corrosion and overheating, ensuring efficient heat transfer.
Thermostat
The thermostat regulates your engine’s temperature by controlling coolant flow. A faulty thermostat can cause your engine to run too hot or too cold, leading to poor performance and potential damage. We diagnose and replace faulty thermostats to keep your engine running at the right temperature.
Water Couplings
Water couplings connect various components of the cooling system and are crucial for directing coolant flow. Leaking or damaged couplings can disrupt this flow, leading to overheating. Our services include inspecting and replacing water couplings to ensure a tight and efficient cooling system.
Water Hoses
Water hoses transport coolant between the engine, radiator, and other components. Over time, hoses can become brittle, crack, or leak, compromising the cooling system. We inspect, repair, and replace water hoses to maintain proper coolant circulation and prevent engine overheating.
Heater Cores
The heater core is responsible for warming the cabin by transferring heat from the engine to the interior. Issues with the heater core can result in poor cabin heating or coolant leaks. We diagnose and repair heater cores, ensuring your vehicle’s heating system works effectively.
Heater Faults
Heater faults, such as insufficient heat or blower issues, can affect comfort during colder months. These problems often stem from issues within the cooling system, such as a faulty thermostat or clogged heater core. Our team addresses heater faults to restore warmth to your vehicle’s interior.
Overheating Engine
An overheating engine can lead to severe damage and costly repairs. Common causes include coolant leaks, a failing water pump, or a blocked radiator. We diagnose the root causes of overheating and provide effective solutions to keep your engine cool and running smoothly.
Coolant Temperature Sensors
Coolant temperature sensors play a crucial role in monitoring engine temperature and regulating cooling system performance. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to inaccurate temperature readings and poor engine management. We test and replace faulty sensors to maintain accurate engine temperature control.
Radiator Hoses
Radiator hoses are essential for transporting coolant between the radiator and engine. Over time, these hoses can develop cracks, bulges, or leaks. Our services include inspecting and replacing radiator hoses to prevent leaks and ensure your cooling system operates efficiently.
Radiator Inhibitors
Radiator inhibitors protect your cooling system from rust, scale, and corrosion. Over time, inhibitors can degrade, reducing their effectiveness. We add or replace radiator inhibitors as part of our cooling system maintenance, ensuring long-term protection for your engine.
Head Gasket
The head gasket seals the engine block and head, preventing coolant and oil from mixing. A blown head gasket can cause overheating, coolant leaks, and engine damage. Prompt repairs are crucial to prevent severe damage and maintain the integrity of your engine’s cooling system.

Told them to replace my belt tensioner due to frequent squeaking after replacing my belt. They looked around and said, “nope, take the belt back and ask for a new one under warranty”.. Charged me $12, and after installing a new belt, turns out they were right.
