Honda Pro - Radiator & cooling system service
Expert Cooling System Repair for Your Honda
Your engine's cooling system prevents overheating and catastrophic engine damage. At Honda Pro in San Bernardino, we provide comprehensive radiator and cooling system services to keep your Honda running at the proper temperature, even in Inland Empire heat.
Our Cooling System Services
Coolant Flush & Replacement
Old coolant loses its protective properties and becomes acidic, corroding internal engine components. We perform complete coolant system flushes using Honda-approved coolant, removing contaminants and restoring proper corrosion protection and heat transfer.
Radiator Repair & Replacement
Leaking or clogged radiators cause overheating and engine damage. We repair minor radiator leaks when possible and replace damaged radiators with quality components that meet Honda specifications for optimal cooling performance.
Water Pump Replacement
The water pump circulates coolant through your engine. A failing water pump causes overheating and coolant leaks. We replace worn water pumps before they fail, often during timing belt service to save labor costs.
Thermostat Service
A stuck thermostat causes overheating or prevents your engine from reaching proper operating temperature. We replace faulty thermostats, restoring proper temperature regulation and improving fuel economy and heater performance.
Radiator Hose Replacement
Cracked or swollen radiator hoses leak coolant and can fail suddenly. We inspect all cooling system hoses and replace deteriorated hoses before they leave you stranded with an overheated engine.
Radiator Cap Testing & Replacement
The radiator cap maintains proper system pressure. A weak cap allows coolant to boil over, causing overheating. We pressure test caps and replace failing units to maintain proper cooling system pressure.
Cooling Fan Service
Electric cooling fans prevent overheating at idle and in traffic. We diagnose and repair fan motor failures, relay issues, and temperature sensor problems that prevent proper fan operation.
Heater Core Service
Your heater core is part of the cooling system. Leaking heater cores cause coolant loss and foggy windows. We diagnose heater core issues and perform repairs or replacement to restore heat and prevent coolant loss.
Overflow Tank & Reservoir Service
The coolant reservoir stores excess coolant and allows system expansion. Cracked reservoirs leak coolant. We replace damaged overflow tanks and ensure proper coolant level monitoring.
Pressure Testing & Leak Detection
Coolant leaks can be difficult to locate. We perform pressure tests on the cooling system to identify leaks in hoses, gaskets, radiators, and internal engine components before they cause major problems.
Temperature Sensor Replacement
Faulty temperature sensors cause inaccurate gauge readings, check engine lights, and poor engine performance. We diagnose and replace failed coolant temperature sensors, restoring proper engine management.
