Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need radiator repair or replacement?
The only way to know for sure is with a proper inspection. We look at leaks, corrosion, blockages, and how your cooling system performs, then explain whether targeted radiator repair should fix the issue or if replacement is the more reliable option for your engine and your budget.
Is it safe to keep driving if my car is overheating?
It is generally not safe to keep driving an overheating vehicle. Continued driving can warp engine components or cause major failures. We recommend pulling over safely, letting the engine cool, and arranging to have the car checked as soon as possible to protect your engine and your safety.
How much does radiator work typically cost at your shop?
Costs vary depending on whether you need a coolant flush, minor radiator repair, or full replacement. After our inspection, we provide a clear estimate that outlines recommended work and parts. We walk through the details with you so you can decide how to proceed without surprise charges.
How long will radiator repair or replacement usually take?
Timing depends on your vehicle, parts availability, and the specific work needed. Many cooling system services and repairs are completed the same day, while some replacements may take longer. We explain our expected timeline up front and offer a complimentary shuttle to help you manage your day.
What kind of warranty do you offer on radiator work?
We back our radiator repair and replacement services with an industry-leading warranty on parts and labor. This gives you added confidence that the work was done carefully. Our team will explain the details of the warranty for your specific service before you approve any repairs.
