Preventive maintenance

Radiator repair & service

Your radiator keeps coolant flowing through your engine. A blockage or leak can quickly lead to overheating and a breakdown.

What causes coolant leaks?

Coolant leaks are caused by cracked or ill-fitting hoses, or a hole in the radiator itself. Radiator metal is thin and easily damaged, but the number one cause of coolant leaks is corrosion.

Inspect once a year

We recommend having your coolant system professionally inspected at least once a year. A flush and fill is a critical part of routine maintenance: coolant is very caustic and, left in the radiator for too long, it begins to corrode the metal and can cause a potentially disastrous leak.

If we detect any coolant leaks, we can repair them or replace the damaged part.
