Radiator & Cooling System Repairs
An overheating engine is one of the fastest ways to turn a manageable repair into a very expensive one. We diagnose and repair cooling system issues for all makes and models at our Artisan Street workshop.
Signs Your Cooling System Needs Attention
- Temperature gauge running higher than normal or in the red
- Steam or smoke from under the bonnet
- Coolant pooling under the vehicle
- Sweet smell from the engine bay
- Heater not working properly inside the cabin
- White smoke from the exhaust
Pull over as soon as it's safe. Continuing to drive risks head gasket failure and serious engine damage.

Radiator Replacement & Repair
All makes and models. We assess first, not every issue needs a full replacement. OEM-spec or quality aftermarket radiators suited to your vehicle.
Coolant Flush & Thermostat
Old coolant causes corrosion. A faulty thermostat is one of the most common causes of overheating. We handle both as part of cooling system servicing.
Water Pump & Pressure Testing
Failing pump or a mystery coolant leak? We replace water pumps and run pressure tests to pinpoint exactly where the system is failing.
Everything We Cover
Radiator Replacement
All makes and models — passenger vehicles, 4WDs, diesels, utes, and light commercials.
Radiator Repairs
Not every cooling issue needs a full replacement. We assess and repair where it makes sense.
Coolant Flushes
Recommended every 2 years or 40,000km to avoid internal corrosion.
Thermostat Replacement
A faulty thermostat is one of the most common causes of overheating.
Water Pump Replacement
A failing pump often makes a grinding or whining noise before it fails completely.
Pressure Testing
Losing coolant but can't find a visible leak? A pressure test pinpoints where it's failing.
Hoses & Clamps
Coolant hoses deteriorate over time and can fail without warning.
4WDs, Diesels & Towing
