Coolant is leaking Inspection $94.99 - $114.99 Get a Quote

Hello - for both the cooling system and the brake repair, a bit more information is needed. Repair costs for the cooling system leak will depend on what is causing the leak (water pump worn out, radiator hose cracked, radiator leaking, etc.). I would recommend a coolant loss inspection by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs. For your brake repair, a bit more information on what is wrong with the brakes (worn pads, warped rotors, spongy brake pedal, etc.) will be needed to provide an estimate. Thanks for thinking of YourMechanic!

Hi, thanks for writing in. Water pumps will wear out eventually (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-water-pump). Replacing them is very important to the lifespan of your vehicle (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-long-does-a-water-pump-auxiliary-last). Temperature gauges in vehicles are largely misunderstood. They will only give you accurate readings if they...

Hi there - the "W" displayed on the instrument cluster means that "Winter mode (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/what-does-the-winter-mode-indicator-light-mean-by-spencer-cates)" is selected.
