Have you noticed spots on your driveway or a strange odor coming from your vehicle? Even a small leak can lead to expensive repairs if left unchecked. That's why leak detection is one of the most important services we offer at Auto Select.

Why Vehicle Leaks Matter: Modern vehicles rely on several vital fluids to operate safely and efficiently. A leak may seem minor at first, but losing even a small amount of fluid can affect performance and cause damage over time.

Common fluid leaks include:

• Engine Oil – Helps lubricate and protect your engine from wear.

• Coolant/Antifreeze – Keeps your engine from overheating and freezing.

• Transmission Fluid – Essential for smooth shifting and transmission life.

• Brake Fluid – Critical for safe braking performance.

• Power Steering Fluid – Helps maintain easy steering and vehicle control.

• A/C Refrigerant – Keeps your air conditioning system blowing cold air.

Finding the Source Isn't Always Easy Leaks don't always drip directly below the problem area. Airflow while driving and vehicle components can cause fluids to travel before they become visible. That's why simply looking underneath the car doesn't always tell the full story. At Auto Select, our technicians use proven diagnostic methods to pinpoint the exact source of the leak.

Depending on the type of system, this may include:

• Visual inspections with specialized lighting

• Pressure testing cooling systems

• UV dye leak detection technology

• A/C system performance testing

• Inspection of seals, hoses, gaskets, and fittings

By identifying the root cause, we can recommend the right repair the first time. Don't Ignore These Warning Signs

• Schedule an inspection if you notice:
• Puddles or spots under your vehicle
• Sweet, burning, or chemical odors
• Low fluid warning lights
• Engine overheating
• Difficulty steering or shifting
• Air conditioning that isn't cooling properly
• Frequent need to top off fluids

Addressing leaks early often prevents more costly repairs down the road.

Summer Is the Perfect Time for Leak Detection Hot weather places additional stress on your vehicle's cooling system, air conditioning system, hoses, and seals. Small leaks that went unnoticed during cooler months can become bigger problems during summer road trips and daily commuting.
