Cooling System
 

We perform full cooling system repairs from minor flushes to cylinder head gaskets using only warranty approved coolant with distilled water.  Leah’s is also a supplier of BG cooling system flushes and Liqui moly Radiator cleaners .

Cooling System components   –

Radiator

A series of fins around the radiator allows coolant to dissipate heat as air passes over these fins. Radiator cores can become clogged and require flushing or replacing.

Rad Hoses

Transfer coolant from the radiator to the engine block. Water hoses are designed for extreme heat and pressure, and must be replaced according to your vehicle maintenance guide.

Thermostat

The radiator thermostat controls the coolant sent to the engine for heat management during operation. Without a properly operating thermostat, your engine will overheat, potentially causing serious damage. Signs of thermostat trouble include very high or very low temperature readings. Remember to always allow your engine to cool down when checking the radiator for problems. The radiator cap should be cool to the touch before opening.

Water Pump

The water pump is a simple centrifugal pump driven by a belt connected to the crankshaft of the engine. The pump circulates fluid whenever the engine is running.

The fluid leaving the pump flows first through the engine block and cylinder head, then into the radiator and finally back to the pump.

The water pump uses centrifugal force to send fluid to the outside while it spins, causing fluid to be drawn from the centre continuously. The inlet to the pump is located near the center so that fluid returning from the radiator hits the pump vanes.

Designated Government Inspection Facility
Leah’s is a authorized inspection facility with licensed technicians to perform pre-purchase, out of province and government CVI inspections.  We will provide you with a full report on the condition of the vehicle along with filling out and submitting paper work.
Diagnostics and Repairs

Today’s vehicles have numerous onboard computers. You may not be aware of them or the thousands of adjustments they make per second so you can experience a smooth ride.

We have experienced technicians and top of the line scanning and testing equipment helps us see hidden codes that the other scanners may not be able to see.  We use graphs and run energy diagnoses to assist us in making an accurate diagnosis of your car’s specific issue.

If your vehicle’s check engine light comes on we can tell you why, fix the problem and get you back on the road again.

Major Engine Repairs
We do major engine repairs on all makes and models including head gaskets, valve adjustments and bottom end work (I.e. engine main bearings and pistons rings. etc.).

 

Oil and Filter Change
Oil and filter change is a very important part of car care. We carry a range of engine oils with different viscosities and use only the recommended fluids for your vehicle.  All of our oil and filter changes are warranty approved.  In fact, many of the oils we use exceed manufacturer specifications.  We are also proud to be one of the few suppliers of Liqui moly Oils and additives.
At Leah’s, we always choose the best products to ensure the longevity of your vehicle.
Pre-purchase Inspections

If you are planning to buy a pre-owned vehicle, make sure you bring to us first!  We will go though an extensive check list that includes inspecting the top, bottom, inside and outside of the vehicle.  It may turn out to be the best money you ever spent.

Timing Belts
Your car’s timing belt plays a critical role synchronizing the engines crankshaft and camshaft.  Keeping up on manufacturer recommended servicing is very important in maintaining a strong engine.   Leah’s also recommend keeping up with these services to prevent any engine damage.
