Call Us Today at 813-993-0750
Losing coolant with nothing visible on the driveway means the leak is happening under pressure, or going somewhere you cannot see. A pressure test holds the system under load and shows exactly where it lets go. A mobile mechanic Tampa FL drivers use does that at your address.
The test comes with a full inspection of every hose, clamp, cap and housing, because a hose that is soft or swollen is the next leak whether it is leaking today or not. Call 813-993-0750.

Most people call us about this when they notice a system that is losing coolant with no obvious puddle. 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: pressurised and held, with every hose, clamp and joint checked under pressure. You get told what the fault is and what the repair costs before anything is fitted.
The system is pressurised to its rated figure and held, then every joint, hose, housing and the cap are checked while it is under load. A drop in pressure with nothing visible points inward rather than outward.
The pressure test holds the system at operating pressure so the leak shows itself, and the hose inspection that comes with it catches the next failure before it happens.
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 cooling system flush 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.
It is losing coolant slowly and nobody has found where. A pressure test finds leaks that do not show when the engine is cold.
The hoses look old and I want to know which ones are about to go. They get inspected under pressure, not by eye.
It overheated once and I want to know whether the system is sound before I drive it again.
Straight answers to what Tampa drivers ask us before booking a call out.
1
The system is pressurised to its rated figure and held, then every joint, hose, housing and the cap are checked while it is under load. A drop in pressure with nothing visible points inward rather than outward.
2
Because a hose that has gone soft, swollen or hard is the next leak regardless of whether it is leaking today. Replacing one during a job you are already having done is far cheaper than a call out later.
3
Yes. A failed cap stops the system holding pressure, which lowers the boiling point and causes overheating that looks like a much bigger fault.
