Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my radiator needs repair?
Common signs your radiator needs repair include engine overheating, coolant puddles under your vehicle, or dashboard temperature warnings. You might smell a sweet odor from leaking coolant, or notice the engine temperature rising, especially during traffic.
Our team can quickly determine if these symptoms point to a radiator issue or another cooling system problem. Having suspicious signs checked early helps you avoid expensive repairs down the line. When you visit us, we provide a thorough inspection and explain what we find in clear, everyday language.
Can I drive with a leaking radiator?
We recommend that you do not drive if your radiator is leaking. Even a small coolant leak can cause your engine to overheat and lead to major damage quickly. If you spot coolant or the temperature gauge is high, pull over safely and turn off your car.
We offer fast scheduling and a complimentary shuttle in Oviedo so you can address repairs without added stress. Your safety and your vehicle’s health matter most to us.
How long does radiator repair usually take?
Most radiator repairs or replacements can be completed in a single day, depending on the needed parts and the issue’s complexity. After diagnosis, we provide a clear timeline for your repair before work begins. Our shuttle service keeps your schedule on track while your car is with us. We focus on minimizing disruption and getting you back on the road quickly.

No surprises or hidden charges. If something unexpected comes up, we contact you to discuss your options before proceeding. Our focus on transparency helps build your confidence in every step.
