Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need radiator repair or replacement?
The only way to know for certain is through a proper inspection. We check for leaks, blockages, and internal damage, then explain whether repair can restore function or if radiator replacement is the more reliable choice. You see the findings and estimate before choosing.
Is it safe to keep driving if my car is overheating?
In most cases, continuing to drive with an overheating engine is not safe for the vehicle. It can lead to serious engine damage. If your temperature gauge spikes or you see steam, it is usually best to pull over safely, shut the engine off, and contact a shop for guidance.
How long do radiator or fuel pump repairs usually take?
Time in the shop depends on your vehicle and the specific repair. Many cooling and fuel system repairs can be completed the same day once parts are available. We let you know the expected timing up front and offer a complimentary shuttle to help you keep your day on track.
What kind of warranty do you offer on these repairs?
Our work is backed by an industry-leading warranty on parts and labor. The exact terms depend on the service and components used, and we review that coverage with you before the repair. This warranty is one reason many drivers feel comfortable choosing us for larger repairs.
Will you explain my options before starting any work?
Yes. Transparency is a core part of how we operate. After our technicians diagnose the issue, we walk you through the results, explain your options in clear language, and provide a written estimate. We only move forward with the repair options you approve.
