Call Us Today at 813-993-0750
A puddle under the car, a sweet smell after a drive, a level that keeps dropping, or steam from under the hood. Coolant leaks are worth finding before the temperature gauge starts climbing. A mobile mechanic Tampa FL drivers call pressure tests the system at your address to locate it.
Hoses, clamps, radiators, water pumps, housings and gaskets. We find where it is actually leaking rather than replacing the easiest part to reach. Call 813-993-0750 before driving it further.

Most people call us about this when they notice coolant pooling under the car or a level that keeps dropping. Leaving it rarely makes it cheaper, and on a car used daily in Tampa traffic the wear tends to accelerate once it starts.
We Come to You
Your driveway, your office parking lot, or the side of the road. We bring the workshop to the vehicle.
Diagnostics First
We read the codes and test the part before quoting, so you are not paying to replace something that was working.
We arrive with the tools and the common parts already on board. The fault is diagnosed first, then explained to you in plain terms, then repaired if you are happy with the price. Nothing gets replaced on a guess, and nothing gets fitted without your say so.
What we actually do: the source found by pressure test rather than by topping it up and waiting. You get told what the fault is and what the repair costs before anything is fitted.
Leaks are found under pressure, because most of them do not show themselves with the engine cold and stopped. Once located, the repair is usually a hose, a clamp or a housing rather than anything major.
The test to find the leak is quoted separately from the repair, because until we know where it is losing coolant we would be guessing at the part. Most repairs turn out to be a hose, a clamp or a housing.
We test before we replace, and you are told what the fault is and what it costs before any work starts. This sits under Auto Radiator Repair Service Tampa FL, which covers the rest of the system it belongs to.
Cars that come to us for this often need attention next door as well, and pressure test with hose inspection Tampa FL is the one that turns up alongside it most often. Worth a read if you have noticed more than one thing.
The calls that come in most often around Tampa for this, and what each one usually turns out to be.
There is a puddle under the car and I cannot tell what it is. We identify the fluid and the source before quoting.
The coolant level drops but there is nothing on the driveway. That can be a pressure leak or something worse, and it gets pressure tested.
The windows mist up and there is a sweet smell inside. Usually a heater matrix, and it needs confirming before anything is stripped.
Straight answers to what Tampa drivers ask us before booking a call out.
1
Yes, and that is common. A leak under pressure can evaporate off a hot engine before it reaches the ground, or go into the cabin through the heater core.
2
Not if the level is dropping. Overheating damages engines quickly and expensively, and a cooling leak gets worse rather than better.
3
Coolant. If you can smell it after a drive, you are losing some, even if nothing is visible on the driveway.
4
Tell us what the car is doing and where it is parked. We come to you across Tampa, from Carrollwood and Westchase through to Temple Terrace and Brandon.
