FAQs
How can I tell if my radiator needs attention?
Watch for warning signs like green or orange puddles under your car, rising engine temperatures, a sweet smell from under the hood, or the check engine light. These signals mean your radiator may need repair.
Do I need a full radiator replacement or just a repair?
Some issues, like small leaks or clogged hoses, may only require a simple repair. Severe corrosion or major structural damage could require replacement. We inspect and explain your options before starting work.
How often should I have my radiator checked?
Most vehicles benefit from an annual cooling system inspection or whenever you notice signs of trouble. The needs can vary depending on age, mileage, and local Fayetteville driving conditions.
Can driving in Fayetteville’s climate impact my radiator?
Frequent temperature shifts, stop-and-go traffic, and regional road debris can add stress to a radiator. Regular inspections help catch problems before they lead to breakdowns.
Will you let me know the costs before any work starts?
We share our findings, discuss recommended services, and provide a clear estimate. You’ll always know what to expect before any repairs begin.
