Geelong cooling system
When your car’s cooling system isn’t doing its job, things can heat up quickly—literally. At JJ’s Garage in South Geelong, we see it all the time: overheating engines, cracked radiators, leaking coolant, or a car that just keeps losing water. Your cooling system is critical to preventing serious engine damage, and we take it seriously. Whether it’s a blocked radiator or a faulty thermostat, we’ll get to the root of the issue before it causes bigger problems.
- Prevent engine overheating

Cooling system faults can creep up gradually, or strike suddenly—usually when you least expect it. If your temperature gauge is rising or there’s steam under the bonnet, don’t ignore it. Call 03 4232 2030 and book a cooling system check before it turns into a costly repair.
About our Radiator services
Radiators are the key to keeping your engine at the right temperature, preventing overheating and costly damage. Over time, radiators can corrode, leak, or become blocked, reducing their ability to cool effectively. At JJ’s Garage in South Geelong, we diagnose radiator issues quickly and provide practical solutions, from simple repairs to complete replacements.
What we offer:
- Radiator inspections & leak detection
- Quality repairs or replacements
- Coolant flushes to maintain efficiency
If your car is running hotter than usual or you’ve noticed coolant pooling under the vehicle, book a radiator check with our team today to prevent further damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a failing car cooling system?
Common signs include an overheating engine, rising temperature gauge, coolant warning light, visible coolant leaks, or steam coming from under the bonnet. You might also notice poor heater performance in winter or a sweet smell from the engine bay (a sign of leaking coolant). If left untreated, a failing cooling system can lead to head gasket damage or engine failure.
How often should I flush my coolant system?
Coolant should generally be flushed and replaced every 2 to 5 years, depending on the vehicle and type of coolant used. Some cars use long-life coolant that lasts longer, but it's still essential to test coolant condition during services. Regular flushing prevents corrosion, improves cooling efficiency, and protects internal engine components from damage.
Can I drive if my car is overheating?
It’s not recommended. Driving while your car is overheating can cause serious damage, including a cracked cylinder head or blown head gasket. If your temperature gauge is in the red or you see steam, pull over safely, switch off the engine, and allow it to cool. Don’t open the radiator cap while the engine is hot.
