Frequently Asked Questions About Radiator Services
How do I know if my radiator needs repair or replacement?
Bring it to our shop for inspection. Minor leaks, damaged tanks, and many internal problems can be repaired for significantly less than replacement cost. We’ll give you an honest assessment of the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
How long does a typical radiator repair take?
Most automotive radiator repairs are completed within 1-2 business days. Industrial and heavy equipment repairs may take longer depending on the extent of damage and parts availability. We prioritize emergency repairs when equipment downtime is costing you money.
Do you work on all vehicle makes and models?
Yes. We repair radiators for all automotive makes and models, including domestic, import, and specialty vehicles. Our experience spans everything from daily drivers to classic cars to heavy-duty trucks.
Can you repair aluminum radiators?
Absolutely. Aluminum welding is one of our specialties. Many shops can’t properly weld aluminum, which is why they push customers toward replacement. Our technicians have the skills and equipment to repair aluminum radiators, charge air coolers, and other aluminum cooling components.
What’s the difference between repair and rebuild?
A repair addresses specific damage like leaks or cracked tanks. A rebuild involves replacing the core (the internal tubes and fins) while retaining the original tanks. Rebuilds are typically needed when cores are severely corroded or physically damaged beyond repair.
Do you offer emergency or rush service?
Yes. We understand that equipment downtime costs money. Contact us about your situation and we’ll do everything possible to expedite your repair. Our shop hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
