Signs your heating system needs repair
Heating issues often show up slowly. Other times, the symptoms are hard to miss. Common signs include:

- A sweet smell from leaking coolant
- Rising engine temperature or low cabin heat
- Wet floors caused by heater core leaks
- Cracked or leaking hoses and worn belts
Ignoring these issues can lead to bigger repair needs. Our technicians perform a full inspection to find the source and explain your options clearly.

Why your car heater is tied to the engine cooling system
Many drivers do not realize that cabin heat comes directly from the engine cooling system. Warm coolant flows through the heater core, and the blower pushes that heat into the cabin. When something disrupts that process, your heater stops working and your engine can be put at risk.
Low coolant levels, a stuck thermostat, a clogged heater core, or a failing water pump can all reduce heat inside the vehicle while increasing the chance of overheating. That is why heating problems should never be ignored. They often point to cooling system issues that affect overall vehicle performance and reliability.
Our technicians inspect both systems together so nothing gets missed. This approach helps keep your heater working properly while protecting the engine from costly damage.
