FAQs
How do I know if my radiator needs attention?
Watch for warning signs such as the temperature indicator light, steam under the hood, coolant puddles beneath your car, or a sweet smell from the engine compartment. These may signal it's time for a professional inspection.
How long does a typical radiator repair take?
Most radiator services can be finished the same day. Total time depends on the issue’s complexity and the availability of parts, but we always keep you updated throughout your visit.
Can I drive with a leaking radiator?
You should not drive with a leaking radiator. Low coolant can cause engine overheating and lead to major engine damage. If you notice a leak or rising temperature, seek prompt professional help.
What is involved in a coolant flush?
During a coolant flush, the technician drains old coolant, inspects for buildup or rust, and refills with new coolant. This helps ensure your cooling system operates smoothly and prevents future problems.
Is radiator repair covered by warranty at your shop?
We offer an industry-leading warranty for radiator and cooling system repairs. This gives you confidence in our workmanship and added security as you get back on the road.
