Common Causes We See
Coolant Leak
Leaking hoses, a cracked radiator, or a failed water pump gasket can cause rapid coolant loss and overheating.
Failed Thermostat
A stuck-closed thermostat prevents coolant from flowing through the radiator, causing the engine to overheat quickly.
Clogged Radiator
Scale buildup, debris, or a collapsed radiator tube restricts coolant flow and reduces cooling capacity.
Water Pump Failure
A failed water pump stops coolant circulation, leading to rapid overheating even with a full coolant system.
Fan Clutch Failure
A failed fan clutch reduces airflow through the radiator at low speeds, causing overheating in traffic or at idle.
Head Gasket Failure
A blown head gasket allows combustion gases into the cooling system, causing overheating and coolant contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions
My engine overheated and shut down — what should I do?
Do not restart the engine until it has cooled down. Call us at (904) 689-0585 immediately. Running an overheated engine can cause severe and expensive damage.
Can you fix a coolant leak on the side of the road?
Yes. Most coolant leaks from hoses, fittings, and minor radiator damage can be repaired roadside. We carry coolant and common repair parts on our service truck.
How do I know if my head gasket is blown?
Signs include white smoke from the exhaust, coolant in the oil (milky appearance), or bubbles in the coolant reservoir. We can perform a combustion leak test on-site to confirm.
