Losing coolant but can't find the leak? In the intense Arizona heat, where temperatures often soar above 115°F, a slow, hidden coolant leak can quickly become a serious problem. At Apex Automotive in Gilbert, AZ, we understand that your vehicle’s cooling system works overtime to keep your engine running smoothly in our desert Southwest climate. That’s why our coolant system pressure test is an essential diagnostic service designed to pinpoint elusive leaks before they cause costly engine damage or overheating.
Unlike guesswork or replacing parts blindly, our diagnostic-first approach ensures precision and efficiency. We use a specialized pressure testing tool to safely pressurize your entire cooling system to a set level, simulating the conditions your vehicle experiences on the road, especially under extreme heat stress. This process forces coolant out of even the smallest cracks, pinholes, or weak spots, making leaks visible to our expert technicians.
Our thorough inspections can identify issues such as failing radiator seams, weeping water pumps, cracked or deteriorated hoses, and even internal engine problems like a failing head gasket. In Arizona’s demanding climate, where cooling system failure can lead to catastrophic engine damage, catching these issues early is critical.
Apex Automotive is committed to providing clear, accurate diagnoses without unnecessary parts replacement — we are your personal mechanic, David Jr., offering expert advice and service by appointment only. We also service and diagnose related air conditioning systems that use R-134a and the newer R-1234yf refrigerants, ensuring your vehicle stays cool inside and out.
Before you replace another part based on guesswork, schedule a coolant system pressure test with us. This non-invasive, highly effective test gives you the complete picture of your cooling system’s health and peace of mind on Arizona roads.
