Radiator Repair Services

  • Radiator Leakage Repair: There are quite a number of problems that can be associated with a radiator but the most frequent one is a leakage of the coolant. A leak can happen as a result of corrosion, damaged hoses, or a cracked radiator. We have employed skilled technicians who can detect the exact area where the leakage occurred and fix it effectively. If a radiator replacement is required, you can trust us to use only genuine parts that guarantee that your cooling system will function properly and your engine will not overheat.
  • Coolant Flush and Replacement: Your vehicle’s coolant can accumulate dirt and other particles after some time and this can make it lose its efficiency in regulating temperature. Coolant flush assists in the removal of these deposits. At German Auto Doctor, we will make sure that coolant is flushed periodically as part of the car’s maintenance to ensure that the cooling system is in its best condition.
  • Radiator Fan Repair and Replacement: The radiator fan assists in the pulling of air through the radiator to cool the engine. A faulty fan causes the engine to overheat especially when the car is in traffic for a long time. Our technicians can either fix or change a defective radiator fan to make sure that your car continues to regulate the temperature despite the tough road conditions.
  • Radiator Cap: Although it is a small component, the radiator cap has a role in controlling the pressure of your engine’s coolant. We inspect and replace these parts as and when necessary to make sure that your vehicle’s cooling system is optimally functional.

Radiator Repair FAQs

How do I know when my radiator needs servicing?
It is advisable to service your radiator as a part of your car maintenance schedule which is between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. This involves coolant services such as coolant flushes and a check on the radiator system to determine whether it has any leakages or damages.
What are the consequences of not attending to radiator problems?
If one fails to address a radiator problem, the car’s engine will overheat and cause a lot of problems such as warping of some parts of the engine, cracking of the head gasket, or even complete failure of the engine. This is why it is advisable to diagnose any radiator issue and fix it before it gets worse.
Is it safe to drive with a leaking radiator?
If there is a leak in the radiator, then it is not safe to drive the car. A leakage results in a loss of the coolant, which in turn leads to overheating of the engine and subsequent damage to the engine. If you see signs of a coolant leak it is advisable to take your car for repairs as soon as possible.
Is it possible to avoid having problems with the radiator?
Yes, many radiator problems can be avoided through maintenance and coolant flushes. However, some problems may occur over time through use or wear, so if you notice symptoms of radiator problems, do not ignore them even if you have done all of your maintenance.
Which coolant should I use?
Your car’s owner’s manual will state clearly the type of coolant you should use on your vehicle.
Why is my engine overheating even though I have enough coolant?
Sometimes, the engine may overheat even when the coolant levels are correct; this may be as a result of a bad radiator fan, a blocked radiator, or a bad thermostat. These problems can hinder the cooling process and should be handled by a professional mechanic.
