Common Questions

Most minor repairs can be completed within 2-4 hours. Complete radiator replacements typically take 4-6 hours. We provide exact time estimates after diagnosing your vehicle.
It depends on the damage. Minor leaks from hose connections or small cracks can often be repaired. However, if the core is severely damaged or the radiator is very old, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Common causes include age and wear, corrosion from contaminated coolant, physical damage from debris, and clogged passages from neglected maintenance. Regular coolant changes help extend radiator life.
