Cooling system
Reliability, temperature control, engine protection – good cooling system maintenance makes all the difference.
Is your engine overheating? We cool it!
Request an appointment online or by phone for a cooling system inspection or other car repairs.
Bring the vehicle to the workshop for a pressure test, check of hoses, belts and coolant.
Leave with an engine protected against overheating and ready to face extreme conditions.
Why choose us for your cooling system?
Complete cleaning, engine protected
We rinse and replace the coolant to remove rust, deposits and residues. The result: a well-cooled engine, stable performance and reduced wear.
Pre-installation inspection
Before draining, we inspect the radiator, hoses, thermostat and water pump. We don’t do maintenance blindly – we check the overall condition of the system first.
Transparency and clear explanations
Temperature rise, sweet smell, leaking liquid? we explain clearly what’s wrong and what the service can fix, without technical jargon.
Targeted intervention, no surplus
Sometimes a simple oil change is all that’s needed. If a component is damaged, we’ll let you know and explain possible solutions. No pressure, just the facts.
Trained technicians, up-to-date equipment
At Alex Pneu et Mécanique, we work with precise tools, fluids compatible with every type of engine, and an experienced team. For a reliable engine that stays cool.
Why maintain your cooling system?
Temperature needle too high? Leaky fluid? Hot smell under the hood? These signs often indicate a clogged or faulty cooling system. Preventive maintenance keeps your engine at the right temperature – and prevents overheating, premature wear or engine failure.
Over time, coolant loses its properties, acidifying and leaving deposits in the radiator, hoses and water pump. The result: disrupted circulation, reduced heat exchange and the risk of overheating. Cooling system maintenance helps to:
- Remove residues and rust from the circuit
- Maintain a stable temperature and prevent overheating
- Protect seals, water pump and radiator
- Improve engine performance and longevity
- Reduce the risk of serious breakdowns (cylinder head gasket, cracks, etc.)
At Alex Pneu et Mécanique, we start by inspecting your system for leaks, pressure, fluid and component condition. Then we perform a complete oil change and flush if necessary, using products adapted to your vehicle. You leave with a well-cooled, reliable engine… and peace of mind.
Frequently asked questions about the cooling system
What is the purpose of a vehicle's cooling system?
It keeps the engine temperature stable by removing excess heat. It prevents overheating, preserves internal components and ensures good engine efficiency.
What are the signs of a cooling problem?
- Temperature needle too high
- Engine or temperature light on
- Smell of hot or burnt fluid
- Visible leak under vehicle
- Unexplained drop in fluid level
How often should the cooling system be serviced?
Generally, every 2 to 5 years, or as recommended by the manufacturer. An annual check is recommended, especially before summer or winter.
What does cooling system maintenance include?
- Inspect hoses, radiator and water pump
- Check fluid pressure and level
- Drain and replace coolant
- Complete flush if necessary
Un simple ajout de liquide suffit-il en cas de problème?
Non. Une baisse de niveau peut cacher une fuite ou un défaut dans le système. Il est important d’en identifier la cause avant de simplement refaire le plein.
Are all coolants the same?
No. Each vehicle needs a specific coolant, depending on the type of engine and the materials used in the circuit (aluminum, copper, etc.). At Alex, we always use the right product.
What happens if we neglect the cooling system?
Overheating, engine failure, burnt cylinder head gasket or internal corrosion. Simple maintenance can prevent costly repairs
