Cooling System Repair in Colorado Springs

Radiators, water pumps, thermostats, coolant flushes.

An overheated import almost always means a cracked aluminum head or warped block — and a tow bill. Import Specialty Auto in Colorado Springs replaces water pumps, electric auxiliary pumps, thermostats, expansion tanks, radiators, hoses, and coolant temperature sensors before they leave you stranded on I-25.

We use the correct OEM coolant chemistry for every make — G13 for VW/Audi, BMW blue, Mercedes MB-Approved, Subaru Super Coolant, Toyota SLLC — never a generic "universal" coolant that ruins gaskets and pumps. Coolant flushes are performed on a factory interval with a full pressure test.

If your temperature gauge climbs above normal, you smell sweet coolant, or you've spotted a puddle under the car, get it in fast. We serve Colorado Springs, Monument, Falcon, Black Forest, Briargate, Fountain, and Manitou Springs.
