Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my radiator really needs repair?
Look for symptoms such as leaks, overheating, or dashboard temperature warnings. In Pearland’s climate, even a small problem can quickly become more serious. Our technicians will perform a complete inspection so you know exactly what’s going on. We explain the symptoms and show you our findings before recommending any repair.
Will you show me what’s wrong before you fix it?
Yes, we always review our inspection results with you before starting repairs. We use photos, digital reports, and visual inspections to ensure you understand the situation. Our goal is transparency at every step, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
How long will my radiator repair take?
Most radiator repairs are finished the same day. For more involved jobs or parts orders, we’ll give you a clear, honest timeline during your estimate. We offer a comfortable waiting area and a complimentary shuttle throughout Pearland, keeping you moving while we work.
Does your warranty cover radiator repairs?
All our radiator repairs come with an industry-leading warranty, fully explained before work begins. If you have a problem after service, our warranty covers it, so you don’t have to worry about unexpected costs. Your peace of mind is one of our highest priorities.
Can I wait at your shop, or do you offer a shuttle?
You can choose what works best for you—use our comfortable lounge or take advantage of our complimentary shuttle service. We want your repair experience to be efficient, easy, and comfortable, no matter your schedule in Pearland.
