Your vehicle’s cooling system keeps the engine at the right temperature, prevents overheating, and protects against major internal damage. When something goes wrong — leaks, overheating, low coolant, or temperature fluctuations — you need fast, accurate diagnostics. At Metairie Automotive, our ASE‑certified technicians inspect, repair, and maintain your entire cooling system to keep your engine running safely and efficiently.

❄️ Our Cooling System Services

Cooling System Inspection

We perform a complete inspection to identify leaks, blockages, or failing components.

Includes:

• Coolant level & condition check

• Pressure test

• Radiator & hose inspection

• Thermostat operation

• Water pump function

• Fan & electrical check

Coolant Flush & Fill

Old or contaminated coolant loses its ability to protect your engine. A coolant flush removes buildup, rust, and debris, then replaces it with fresh coolant.

Benefits:

• Prevents overheating

• Protects against corrosion

• Improves cooling efficiency

• Extends component life

Radiator Repair & Replacement

Your radiator is responsible for removing heat from the engine. If it’s clogged, leaking, or damaged, your vehicle can overheat quickly.

Common radiator issues:

• Coolant leaks

• Cracked tanks

• Clogged cores

• Corroded fins

Thermostat Replacement

The thermostat regulates coolant flow. When it sticks open or closed, your engine can run too hot or too cold.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat:

• Overheating

• Temperature gauge fluctuating

• No heat from vents

• Poor fuel economy

Water Pump Replacement

The water pump circulates coolant through the engine. If it fails, overheating happens fast and can cause severe engine damage.

Signs of a failing water pump:

• Coolant leaks near the front of the engine

• Grinding or whining noises

• Overheating at idle

• Steam from the hood

Cooling Fan & Electrical Diagnostics

Cooling fans are essential at low speeds and idle. If they fail, your engine can overheat even on short trips.

We diagnose:

• Fan motors

• Relays

• Fuses

• Temperature sensors

• Wiring issues

Hose & Clamp Replacement

Hoses carry coolant throughout the system. Over time, they can crack, swell, or leak.

We replace:

• Upper & lower radiator hoses

• Heater hoses

• Bypass hoses

• Clamps & connectors

⭐ Common Cooling System Problems We Fix

• Engine overheating

• Coolant leaks

• Low coolant warning

• Temperature gauge rising

• Sweet smell inside or outside the vehicle

• Steam from the hood

• No heat from vents

• Coolant pooling under the car

• Overheating at idle or in traffic

⭐ Why Cooling System Maintenance Matters

Your cooling system affects:

• Engine longevity — prevents head gasket failure & engine damage

• Performance — keeps engine temperature stable

• Fuel efficiency — proper temperature improves combustion

• Safety — prevents breakdowns and overheating

Ignoring cooling system issues can lead to expensive repairs, including warped heads or complete engine failure.
