Cooling System
Car Cooling System Repair in Mississauga
Your engine just hit 120°C on the dashboard. Steam is coming from under the hood. Now you're stuck on Hurontario during rush hour, wondering what just happened.
Your engine cooling problems often show no warning, but catching issues early can save you from costly damage. Address problems promptly to stay in control and avoid surprises.
Most cooling system repairs in Mississauga get caught too late. People see the temp gauge climbing and think, "I'll deal with it next week." Then next week turns into a cracked engine block and damage that could have been avoided if caught early.
Tabangi Service offers same-day cooling system repairs, giving you peace of mind. With 25 years of experience, our technicians handle radiator leaks, thermostat failures, and more efficiently so you can trust us to get you back on the road quickly.
The cooling system keeps your engine from cooking itself. When it fails, you have 10 minutes before permanent damage starts. That's why engine cooling system repair is one of the most searched car problems in Mississauga, right after brakes.
Car Cooling System Services We Fix
Engine Cooling System Repair
Your engine cooling system stops your motor from melting. Radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, coolant - when one breaks, the whole system fails. We pressure-test the system, check temps, and find the leak. Then fix it
Radiator Repair and Replacement
Radiators leak. Bottom corners rust out first, then coolant drips all over your driveway in Cooksville. Small leaks we can patch if caught early. Significant leaks or cracked radiators get replaced.
Thermostat Replacement
A thermostat stuck closed means your car overheats. Stuck open means no heat in winter and bad fuel economy. We swap thermostats in about 2 hours. Test it afterward to make sure temps are running normally.
Coolant Flush and Replacement
Old coolant loses its ability to protect your engine. Gets acidic, eats through hoses and seals. We drain the old stuff, flush the system clean, and refill with fresh coolant. Keeps your engine running cool for another few years.
Water Pump Replacement
The water pump moves coolant through your engine. When it fails, you overheat fast. Usually, I hear it squealing before it dies. We replace water pumps the same day on most cars: new pump, new gasket, and leak test.
Cooling System Hoses and Belts
Rubber hoses crack over time. Belts fray and snap. Both cause breakdowns when they go. We check hoses and belts during oil changes. Replace them before they fail. Cheaper than a tow truck.
Engine Overheating Repair
Overheating damages engines permanently if ignored. Warped heads, blown gaskets, cracked blocks. We find why your overheating - could be radiator, thermostat, fan, pump, or head gasket. Fix the real problem, not just the symptoms.
Cooling System Inspection
Most people overlook cooling system checks until problems arise. Regular inspections help you stay in control, prevent costly repairs, and give peace of mind. We pressure-test for leaks, check coolant, and inspect hoses and belts to keep your vehicle reliable.
Signs Your Cooling System Needs Repair
The temperature gauge is climbing higher than usual. That’s the first sign most people ignore. Here’s what to watch for:
- Temp gauge in the red or close to it
- Steam from under the hood
- Sweet smell inside the car (that's coolant leaking)
- The heater is blowing cold air in winter
- Puddles under your car in the morning
- The engine is running rough when hot
Any of these signs means your cooling system’s failing. Ignoring it risks severe engine damage, such as cracked blocks. Drive safely by getting it checked early when you notice weird temps.

Frequently Asked Questions
A temp gauge higher than usual, steam from the hood, a sweet smell inside the car, a heater not working, or puddles under your vehicle. Any of these means get it checked now. Waiting makes it worse and costs more to fix later.
No. Overheating can cause permanent engine damage quickly—cracked block, warped head, blown gasket—all of which are expensive to repair. Pull over as soon as the temp gauge hits red and call for a tow.
Radiator leak, bad thermostat, broken water pump, low coolant, bad radiator cap, or clogged system. Sometimes it’s multiple things at once. We test everything to find the real problem.
Every 3-5 years, depending on your car. Old coolant becomes acidic, damaging hoses and seals. Check your owner’s manual for specific timing. We check the coolant condition during inspections.
Usually means low coolant, bad thermostat, or clogged heater core. Sometimes, air is trapped in the system after repairs. We diagnose it correctly and fix the real problem, not just symptoms.
Being stuck closed can make your car overheat quickly. Stuck open means no heat in winter, and the engine never reaches proper operating temperature. Both degrade your fuel economy and damage your engine in the long term.
Short-term emergency only to get you home. Water alone freezes in winter, boils more easily in summer, and causes rust inside your engine. Get proper coolant mix in there as soon as possible.
