What happened

On Thursday night we got a call from a customer who had found they were losing coolant. They had a busy weekend coming up and needed it sorted quickly.

First thing Friday morning we were at the car. We diagnosed the leak as a crack on the left hand side of the radiator, sourced the parts we needed and got straight to work.

The car was repaired and back on the road that same day. This is exactly why we run a mobile service. When something goes wrong, we come to you.

As reported Coolant: dropping and running hot
