Diagnostic Testing
Digital pressure testing, flow analysis, and temperature testing to evaluate cooling system performance and identify root causes.
Expert Repair
Professional repair work using appropriate techniques and materials. Welding, soldering, component replacement, or complete restoration.
Quality Testing
Pressure testing, flow verification, and final inspection to ensure the radiator meets or exceeds factory specifications.
Common Radiator Problems We Fix
Expert solutions for the most frequent cooling system issues
Coolant Leaks
Coolant leaks are the most common radiator problem, ranging from minor seepage to major failures. We fix all types of leaks using appropriate repair methods.
Types of Leaks:
- Tank Leaks: Cracks, punctures, or separations
- Core Leaks: Internal or external core damage
- Connection Leaks: Inlet/outlet problems
- Seal Failures: Gasket and seal deterioration
- Pin Holes: Small holes from corrosion or damage
Repair Time: Same day for most leaks, 1-2 days for major repairs
Internal Corrosion
Internal corrosion and electrolysis can cause significant damage to radiator internals. We restore function through cleaning, repair, or selective replacement.
Corrosion Issues:
- Core Blockage: Restricted coolant flow
- Electrolytic Erosion: Metal breakdown from electrical current
- Scale Buildup: Mineral deposits reducing efficiency
- Internal Erosion: Metal thinning and weakening
- Coolant Contamination: Oil or debris intrusion
Repair Time: 1-2 days for cleaning and minor repair work
Physical Damage
Road debris, accidents, and impact damage can cause various types of physical damage to radiators. We assess and repair based on the specific type and extent of damage.
Damage Types:
- Impact Damage: Dents, punctures, structural damage
- Crushing: Deformed fins and core structure
- Mounting Issues: Broken brackets and supports
- Fin Damage: Bent or crushed cooling fins
- Connection Damage: Damaged fittings and connections
Repair Time: 2-3 days for complex damage repair
End Tank Problems
End tanks are critical components that often fail due to pressure, temperature cycling, and manufacturing issues. We replace or repair end tanks to restore full functionality.
End Tank Issues:
- Cracked Tanks: Pressure-induced cracking
- Separation: Tank-to-core bond failure
- Worn Seals: Deteriorated tank seals
- Internal Damage: Baffle and partition damage
- Thread Damage: Stripped or damaged threads
Repair Time: 1-2 days for end tank replacement
