Common Radiator Issues

Radiators are vital to your car’s cooling system, but they can develop problems over time. Common issues include:

  • Coolant Leaks: Leaks from cracked hoses, loose clamps, or corrosion in the radiator can lead to a loss of coolant, causing the engine to overheat​.
  • Overheating: If your temperature gauge shows high readings or you notice steam from under the hood, it may indicate a failing radiator or a blocked passage that needs to be cleared.
  • Corrosion and Rust: Over time, rust or corrosion can develop inside the radiator, reducing its effectiveness. This is often caused by old or contaminated coolant.

Our Radiator Repair Services Include:

  • Leak Detection and Repair: We conduct a thorough pressure test to identify any leaks in your cooling system and repair them promptly, ensuring your radiator functions efficiently.
  • Radiator Flush and Coolant Replacement: To maintain optimal performance, we recommend regular radiator flushes to remove debris and contaminants, replacing old coolant with fresh antifreeze​.

Radiator Replacement: If the radiator is beyond repair due to cracks or extensive corrosion, we can replace it with a high-quality unit, restoring your cooling system to peak condition.
