Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to keep driving if my car overheats?
It is usually not safe to keep driving once your engine overheats. Continuing to drive can risk serious engine damage. When the gauge enters the red or you see steam, it is generally best to pull over safely, turn the engine off, and contact our team for guidance.
How will I know if I need radiator repair or replacement?
Our technicians inspect the entire cooling system, then explain what they find. If the issue is limited to a hose, clamp, or other component, a repair may be appropriate. If the radiator is damaged or heavily corroded, we may recommend radiator replacement, and we will explain why before you decide.
How long does radiator service usually take?
Many radiator services can be completed within the same business day, especially when parts are readily available. Timing can vary based on the specific repair, your vehicle, and parts supply. We let you know what to expect up front and offer shuttle service to help with your schedule.
Will you explain the costs before starting my radiator work?
Yes, we always review an estimate with you before any work begins. Our team explains what we found, which options are available, and what each choice is likely to cost. We wait for your approval and do not move forward until you are comfortable with the plan.
