Your car's radiator circulates coolant to absorb and carry away heat generated by the engine. But just like anything else, your cooling system can wear down over time, leading to potential breakdowns and repairs. That's where Rick's Auto Clinic in Raytown, MO, comes in!
Our professional technicians are experts in cooling system service and provide a comprehensive range of services to keep your car running cool and calm.
Cooling System Inspection

Cooling System Repair
If we identify any faulty components during the inspection, we'll provide a detailed repair estimate and only perform the repairs you approve. We use high-quality parts and top-of-the-line equipment.

Why is my car overheating, and what should I do?
If your car is overheating, pull over safely and turn off the engine as soon as you can, because continuing to drive risks serious and expensive engine damage.
Overheating is usually caused by low coolant, a leak, a failing water pump, a stuck thermostat, or a radiator problem, and it's not something to push through. Once the engine has cooled, get your vehicle to Rick's Auto Clinic at 8216 Westridge Rd, Raytown, MO 64138 and we'll find the source before it turns into a major repair.
What's the difference between a coolant leak and just low coolant?
Low coolant is the symptom, while a leak is one of the possible reasons behind it, and telling them apart matters.
Coolant doesn't get "used up" in a healthy system, so if your level keeps dropping, there's usually a leak somewhere, whether it's a hose, the radiator, the water pump, or an internal issue. The expert
team at Rick's Auto Clinic will check whether your low coolant is a simple top-off or a sign of a leak that needs repair, so you're not just refilling a problem that keeps coming back.
What does a coolant flush actually do for my car?
A coolant flush removes old, contaminated coolant and replaces it with fresh fluid, which protects your engine from corrosion, buildup, and overheating.
Over time coolant breaks down and loses its ability to regulate temperature and guard against rust, so refreshing it keeps the whole cooling system working the way it should. When you visit Rick's Auto Clinic in Raytown, our trustworthy
team will make sure your system is flushed and filled with the right coolant for your vehicle.
