What we do on a mobile car heater repair visit

Coolant & thermostat

Low coolant and thermostats stuck open are the top causes of cold heat. We check both first.

Blend door actuators

A failed actuator causes clicking and one-side-cold heat. Many are replaceable on site.

Blower motor & resistor

No air, or only one fan speed working, usually means the blower motor or its resistor. Both are common mobile fixes.

Heater core check

We check for a clogged or leaking heater core and tell you your options.

When a shop is the better choice

Heater core replacement on most vehicles means removing the dashboard, which is a shop job. We can confirm it's the core so you're not guessing.
