Overheating and Your Thermostat
If your temp gauge is climbing or you are losing cabin heat, the thermostat is a likely cause. We replace it at your Bloomington home before overheating warps the heads. See our thermostat replacement page for the full service breakdown.
A stuck thermostat can ruin an engine, so we do not put it off. We bring the part and do the job on site. Check our Bloomington location page for the full service area.

What a thermostat swap looks like at your Bloomington home
We find the problem first.
We check the temp gauge, the hoses, and the coolant before we call it a thermostat.
We drain the coolant down.
We do it clean, catch the old coolant, and get to the housing.
We swap the thermostat.
The old one comes out, the new one goes in with a fresh gasket.
We refill and run it.
We bleed the air out, bring it up to temp, and confirm the gauge settles where it should.

We do the whole job at your home and confirm the fix before we pack up.
