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
What is causing my coolant light to come on?
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.
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.
Radiator FAQs
When should the radiator in my car be replaced?
Often, radiators will last for the entire life of a car. On average a radiator lasts 8 to 10 years. However, there are a few factors that can reduce a radiator's working life such as improper maintenance, driving habits and environmental conditions.
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.

OUR REVIEWS


Chris Johnson, 05/19/2025Outstanding in every way. We were vacationing from Ohio and our 2003 Tahoe AC quit and there was a rattle that was quite loud. We had done a Segway tour downtown and while there I asked the tour Manager if he could refer us to a shop for a look - Thor directed us to Evans Automotive and even called them and advised they could look at the Tahoe yet that day. Wow, it was 3:00pm on a Wednesday and we could still get service. We were met by Rob at the front counter when we arrived, he was great - he came outside, checked under the hood and told me the A/C compressor needed replaced. He then told me they could have it done by the next day. Really - I was shocked and the pricing was fair and a little less than my own mechanic in Ohio would have charged me I'm sure. Rob was friendly, professional and very helpful. I was going to call Uber since our condo rental was about 30 minutes away. Rob said he might be able to get us a ride and the next thing we knew a friendly guy named Nate was pulling up with a ride for all four of us back to our condo. Nate was super - very gracious and kind. He got us back and I had the nerve to ask him if we could get a ride when it was done - he said if he had time and a driver he would definitely try to pick me up. Another WOW moment. On Friday morning at 9:00am Rob called, the Tahoe was done and advised Nate would pick me up. I was more than impressed to say the least. 45 minutes later Nate arrived - Talk about service - I was expecting to pay for this round trip service, even a small fee of some sort, but it just worked out he could do it - Thank you NATE - you made our trip much better. If you have read this entire review, trust me when I say this service center is outstanding in every way and after finding out Nate managed the center (and is part of its' legacy as an Evans....) GREAT job!! I pray others see this review and put their trust in this outstanding organization.....Way To Go Nate and Team, the Johnson family wishes you the best - God bless!!
