Our Repair and Maintenance Services Include:
Belts
The fan belt, also referred to as a drive belt, connects your vehicle's engine to its front-mounted accessories. This belt is responsible for rotating the water pump and engine fan, ensuring a cool engine environment. Unfortunately, over time, your vehicle's fan belts can dry out and develop cracks, requiring a replacement.
Coolant System Flush
A car's coolant system transfers excess heat from one part of the engine and dissipates it through the radiator fins. As time goes on, the coolant can become old and contaminated, negatively impacting the system's performance. To maintain optimal system function, consider regular coolant system flushes as part of your vehicle's cooling system maintenance.
Hoses
Hoses have the crucial role of transferring coolant and antifreeze throughout the engine's cooling system, including the radiator. With time, these hoses can dry out and develop cracks, leading to leaks. When it's time for replacement, you can rely on our team of experts for your vehicle repair needs.
Radiator Flush
Your vehicle's radiator is responsible for keeping the engine cool and safeguarding it from excessive heat. Sludge, rust, and other solid deposits can accumulate inside the radiator, leading to clogs and reduced system efficiency. This, in turn, can negatively affect your vehicle's performance. Incorporating regular radiator flushes into your routine car maintenance schedule is essential.
Radiators
Radiators serve as heat exchangers, cooling your car's internal combustion engine. They accomplish this by circulating engine coolant through the engine block and then releasing the heat into the atmosphere through radiation.

Coolant FAQs
When should I do a coolant flush?
Your vehicle's owner's manual will recommend getting the coolant flushed about every 30,000 miles or three to five years, whichever comes first. Make sure to consult your owner's manual as some outline a more specific interval depending on the vehicle's make and model and your driving habits.
Why is my coolant leaking?
Corrosion within the radiator is the leading cause of a coolant leak. As the radiator tubes get older and weaker, sediment or debris collects inside and causes a leak. The sealing gasket between the tank and the radiator can also wear out, and lead to a leak.
Why is my coolant light on and what should I do?
If the dashboard light is red, indicating your car is overheating then you should pull over as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off the engine. If the coolant level is low or there is another problem with your cooling system, you could cause serious damage by continuing to drive.
Radiator FAQs
What does radiator service include?
Radiator service starts with draining the system. Then we flush the radiator and engine block, inspecting all hoses to make sure they're not cracked. Next we refill the radiator with fresh coolant and finish by pressure testing the radiator cap and cooling system.
What is the average lifespan of a radiator?
While radiators usually last 8-10 years, some factors can shorten their lifespan. Watch for signs of deterioration to know when replacement is needed.
Why is my car engine overheating?
The most common reason a car overheats is a lack of coolant or a coolant leak. However, if you have an older vehicle, it may also indicate that it is time to replace your radiator, thermostat, water pump or heater core. If it continues to be a problem that you can't fix, your best bet is to bring it to our shop in Mesa.

Been taking my family vehicles here for nearly 10 years. Would highly recommend.

Firstly, I would like to say I'm extremely glad I stumbled upon this business! I was looking for a reliable place to get an inspection and the 40k service done on my Alfa Romeo Giulia. Right off the bat, the moment I walked in, I knew my car was in safe hands. Beautiful people and an honest family business that I would urge more people to support. From finding me a timeslot that worked best for me to accommodating me so quickly, Kerry was incredibly knowledgeable and transparent throughout the process. Servicing an Alfa is something that hits the wallet hard, but after their inspection, they were honest about what actually needed to be changed at the moment, without pushing unnecessary services. The quoting process is amazing! They send you a detailed breakdown via text, where you can see every single charge and approve it individually. No hidden charges or surprise fees. You pay what you see. To top it all off, my car was ready the very same day, within just a few hours, which made the whole experience incredibly convenient for me. I can't express enough how much I appreciate this experience. Look no further and give them a chance. They did a lovely job on my Alfa, and it's back to running like a beast. Thank you again, guys! I'll definitely be coming back in the future for any issues.

Wish there was a shop like this in Tucson. My CRV broke down at Gold Ranch Resort just as I pulled in. Power steering that had been installed in Flagstaff last December quit. When I called Moncur's Automotive they readily told me to have it towed in and they would diagnose the problem and fix it. That's just what they did the same day. Excellent communication all the way. Very Professional. Just what everyone wants in a care care professional. Thank you again.
