Radiator Repair & Cooling System Service in Rochester & Winona, MN | Joe’s Auto & Tire
Prevent overheating. Protect your engine. Extend your vehicle’s life.
Your engine produces intense heat every time you drive—and it’s your cooling system’s job to manage it. If your radiator, water pump, thermostat, or hoses aren’t working properly, it could lead to overheating, engine damage, or complete failure.
At Joe’s Auto & Tire, we provide complete radiator repair and cooling system service in Rochester, MN, Winona, and surrounding areas. From inspections and flushes to hose replacements and leak repairs, we help you avoid costly breakdowns by keeping your engine at the right temperature.
What Does the Cooling System Do?
Your cooling system circulates coolant (antifreeze) through the engine and radiator to absorb heat and prevent overheating. It also helps maintain optimal operating temperature for performance and fuel efficiency.
Cooling system components include:
- Radiator and radiator cap
- Water pump
- Thermostat and housing
- Radiator fan and thermo-time switch
- Hoses and clamps
What We Inspect & Service:
During a radiator repair or cooling system flush, our certified technicians will:
- Check coolant levels and test fluid quality
- Inspect radiator for corrosion or leaks
- Test operation of thermostat, water pump, and cooling fans
- Examine belts and hoses for cracks, leaks, or wear
- Pressure test the system to check for hidden problems
- Perform a full coolant flush and refill (as needed)
Warning Signs of Cooling System Trouble
- Engine temperature gauge running high
- Visible coolant leaks or puddles under the car
- Low coolant levels or rusty fluid
- Steam coming from under the hood
- Sweet or burning smell from the engine bay
- Frequent overheating
Cooling System Maintenance Schedule
Coolant should typically be flushed every 2 years or 30,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on your manufacturer’s guidelines. Skipping this service can lead to corrosion, blockages, and premature part failure.
