ClickMechanic offers inspections, repairs, and replacements to solve problems with your car's cooling system.

What does the cooling system in a car do?

The cooling system is designed to maintain a certain temperature in your vehicle. Running hot will eventually start to warp the metals inside your engine, which is an expensive repair. Running cold will reduce the efficiency of your engine and other components that work best in high heat conditions, such as the catalytic converter.

What are the parts and components of the cooling systems?

Coolant
A mix of distilled water and coolant. The water provides cooling while the coolant protects from corrosion and lubricates the system.

Thermostat
The thermostat controls the flow of coolant by identifying how hot the engine is running.

Water Pump
The water pump pushes coolant through the system. It is driven by the timing chain, belt, or can have its own electric motor.

Radiator
The radiator dissipates heat to the surrounding air from the coolant. The many fins increase the surface area to maximise the cooling properties of the radiator.

Radiator fan
The radiator fan pushes the coolant through the radiator. This is usually activated at low speeds where the coolant has lower momentum.

Cooling pressure cap
The cooling pressure cap holds pressure inside the cooling system. This prevents the coolant from boiling until much higher temperatures. This means the system can be more efficient.

How do you know there is something wrong with the cooling system?

When you can see smoke coming from your engine
When you smell the vapour of the coolant fluid
When you hear cranking sounds
When you feel the engine heating up
When the check engine light comes on

What are common problems with the engine cooling system?

Here are the common problems with a cooling system:

••Low coolant**
A leak in the system will drip away reserves of coolant. Less coolant means the cooling system will be working harder and the engine will eventually overheat.

*Failed thermostat
A faulty thermostat will block the flow of coolant to your engine. The lack of coolant will suddenly overheat your engine.

Worn Water pump
A worn water pump or an issue with the motor system will mean the coolant isn’t properly flowing through the engine. Your pump will be less efficient or broken altogether which will lead to your engine overheating.

Clogged radiator
A radiator can become clogged by poor quality coolant, which doesn’t lubricate the system properly. It will mean there is less coolant and that coolant will have a harder time getting through the system. It will have a gradual noticeable effect on your MPG but otherwise, be hard to diagnose.

Faulty radiator fan
A faulty radiator fan means that air can’t flow along the fins of a radiator, taking heat away from the coolant as it passes through the radiator. This means that both the air and coolant become increasingly hot.

Fault cooling system pressure cap
A broken pressure cap will not retain the pressure on the entire cooling system. This means that steam can vent out and will rapidly reduce the efficiency of the cooling system leading to an engine overheat.

How it works

How does ClickMechanic work?

ClickMechanic uses industry-standard data to give you an instant quote, before connecting you with a local mobile mechanic or independent garage to carry out the work.

There are over 1600 mechanics and garages in the network and each has been vetted on their work history, qualifications and insurance. In addition, we ask all customers to review their mechanic so we can remove any unprofessional mechanics from the network and ensure that the standard remains high.

We have a dedicated customer service team based in London to assist you and ensure your booking goes smoothly.

Who are the mechanics?

The mechanics are a nationwide network of independent garages and mobile mechanics. We rigorously vet the mechanics before they join the network to ensure they have:

At least 5 years work experience (average is 20 years)
At least City & Guilds level 2 mechanic qualification (or better)
Public liability & trade insurance

Furthermore, our users rate the mechanic after each job, meaning we quickly remove any unprofessional mechanics from the network.

Is there a warranty for your services?

Yes. All repairs & services come with a 12-month warranty on both labour and parts. If there’s any defects in the workmanship we’ll work with you to get it resolved at no extra cost.

Do I pay more for the mechanic to come to me?

In almost all cases, no. Collection & delivery is included in your quote. If your car isn’t drivable, and the work can’t be done by a mobile mechanic then some garages will charge a recovery fee. If this is the case, our customer service team will be in touch to let you know in advance, and you’re under no obligation to accept the increased price.

Is there a cancellation fee?

You can cancel your booking with no fee up to 24 hours before the booking. If you cancel within 24 hours of the scheduled visit, then you’ll be charged a £20 fee, which will increase to £40 if the mechanic has started travelling to your location.

Can I supply my own parts?

No. We don't offer a labour only service where you provide your own parts. This is because all mechanics operating in the network must offer a 12-month warranty on their repairs, and so must be able to guarantee the quality and suitability of all parts supplied.

Booking

I'm not sure what's wrong, what should I do?

If you don’t know what’s wrong, we recommend booking a diagnostic inspection and we’ll send a mechanic to find and fix your fault.

When can I book in for?

You can book in 7 days a week, 8AM-8PM. We ask for a day's notice when making a booking, so that we can connect you with a mechanic and they can source the parts.

I can't find my repair, help!

No problem! Please email us at support@clickmechanic.com with your repair details, registration and postcode and we'll send you a tailored quote.

When do I pay?

You will be charged only when the mechanic has completed the work to your satisfaction, and you've given the go-ahead to invoice.

Why do you need my card details?

Much like a hotel, we need your card details to reserve your booking and guarantee payment for the mechanic. You won't be charged a penny until the mechanic has completed the work to your satisfaction and you've given the go-ahead to invoice.

On the day

What happens on the day?

On the day the mechanic will call you to let you know exactly when they will arrive. Then they'll introduce themselves and either take your car to the garage or get on with the work you've booked.

Once the work has been finished, your mechanic will explain the work they've carried out. Once you're happy and give the go-ahead to invoice, then you'll be charged by the mechanic through the ClickMechanic app and your receipt will be emailed directly to you.

Will I get a mobile mechanic or a garage?

For most jobs, we'll send them to both mobile mechanics and independent garages. For jobs that can't be done at the roadside, we'll connect you to a garage, and if your car isn't drivable then we'll connect you with a mobile mechanic.

Do I need to be present for a pre-purchase inspection?

No, though the mechanic will need to be able to access the car, so it’s best to liaise with the seller to ensure that they will be available.

What if the mechanic finds I need a different repair?

If your mechanic attends the booking and finds that the work requested is not the correct diagnosis, the mechanic will assess the vehicle to identify the correct issue. He will then charge the booking at the cost of a diagnostic inspection and you will receive an email receipt reflecting this. If the mechanic can help with repairing the vehicle, they will also send through an additional work quote for the correct repair.

Can the mechanic do the repair by the roadside?

Most repairs can be done by the mobile mechanics on our network. Some jobs will require a workshop, and if this is the case we’ll find you a garage who will collect & return your car - so there’s no need for a trip to the garage.
