Understanding the Importance of Radiator Repair

The radiator in your vehicle is the central part of the car's cooling system. It is in charge of regulating the vehicle's temperature and preventing it from overheating. If your car is overheating, it could experience significant damage that will be costly to repair, so it's best to address any problems without delay.

Most radiator issues are easy to fix, but radiators that are past the point of function can be extremely expensive to replace. If you have any concerns about your vehicle's cooling system, be sure to reach our auto experts at your earliest convenience.

When to Call for Radiator Inspection?

To ensure that your vehicle is running in tip-top shape, it's essential to understand when things are going wrong, and J & L Automotive Repairs & Service, Inc. can help with this. We recommend getting in touch with us if you experience any of the following.

Overheating

Perhaps the most obvious sign of a failing radiator is an overheating vehicle. If you notice smoke or that your engine does not cool down, it may be time to book an inspection.

Leaks

Another sign of a faulty radiator is leaking coolant coming from your vehicle. Coolant is usually bright yellow, green, or red in color and is easy to spot if it begins pooling beneath your car.

Sludge

If the coolant used in your vehicle is not the usual yellow, green or red, you may be facing a build-up of a contaminant that can greatly impact the performance of your radiator.

Constant Refills

If you are having to refill your coolant at a higher rate than usual, you are likely experiencing a leak that needs to be addressed by a trusted mechanic – reach our team to get started!

Understanding the Importance of Safe Radiator Function  

The radiator in your vehicle is responsible for keeping your engine cool. Its fan works to ventilate excess heat and mitigate the risk of damage. The radiator is just one part of your vehicle’s cooling system, which also includes a liquid coolant and a thermostat to regulate the temperature. 

Keeping your engine ventilated is extremely important to the overall safety of your driving experience. An overheated vehicle could damage your pistons, cause the head gasket to blow, and do irreparable damage to your engine overall. 

Addressing issues before they worsen could save you thousands of dollars in repairs and prevent you from having to replace your vehicle prematurely. 

Identifying Issues with Your Radiator 

Understanding when your radiator is experiencing problems is crucial to having them solved. If you experience any of the following, your radiator could be damaged, and we encourage you to reach our experts as soon as possible:

  • Your coolant levels are low
  • Your vehicle is leaking coolant
  • The hood of your car is smoking
  • You notice smudge build up on your radiator
  • You have issues shifting gears
  • Your passenger heater is not functioning correctly

Coolant Leak Repair Cost (sealing radiator leaks)

Before we talk about coolant leak repair costs, it's essential to discuss the damage that can be caused to your engine by driving around with a leaky radiator. If you notice a sharp drop in coolant level, that is one clue your radiator is involved in the problem, but what happens to your engine when coolant isn't being received properly?

Overheating is the answer, and this can cause a world of hurt for your engine, including:

  • Abrasions on pistons and cylinders 
  • Blown gaskets 
  • Burst and broken hoses 
  • Damaged valves 
  • And much more

You may have guessed that repairing an engine will cost significantly more than repairing coolant leaks. You are correct. As each vehicle and repair may vary slightly, we encourage you to reach out to us to request a comprehensive estimate.

Swift Radiator-Hose Replacement

If the problem turns out to be a cracked, collapsed, or otherwise damaged hose, a speedy radiator-hose replacement is just what you need. It’s vital not to run your engine without ensuring it gets the right amount of coolant, so we suggest having your car towed to our shop, if possible. This will help minimize the potential for further engine damage.

Not sure if it’s a hose, fan, valve, or something else causing the issue? No problem. Our mechanics are always here to help answer any questions you may have. Call us for more information.

Speedy Solutions for all Cracked Radiator Repairs

Rust is usually the culprit behind a cracked radiator that needs repair, but in some cases, it’s a leaky gasket that can do you in by causing overheating and a jump in pressure, which produces cracks.
