Toole’s Garage in San Carlos is a full service family owned and operated independent auto repair shop. We offer full range of cooling system diagnostics and services, including radiator replacement. If your vehicle does require radiator replacement, our technicians, nationally ASE certified, will accomplish this task with precision and will make it a stress-free experience for you.
Failing radiator can cause engine overheating which can result in severe damage and expensive repairs. So here are some clues that you car’s radiator could be failing:
- Coolant Leaks: if you see drops or worse, puddles of coolant under your vehicle, that is a telltale sign that either the radiator or hoses are leaking. The same can be indicated by the “low coolant” warning light.
- Overheating Engine: If your vehicle’s engine is overheating, radiator could be at fault. We recommend that you don’t drive the car. Have a towing company bring it to our shop for inspection and repairs.
- Rust or Discoloration: If the radiator shows extensive or discoloration, this should be considered a warning sign. Have it inspected by professionals.
- Unusual noises: Sometimes unusual noises can indicate radiator problems. Again, it’s best to have a professional do a radiator check.
Any of the above symptoms should be a cause for concern, and we recommend bringing your vehicle to a professional auto repair shop. Letting radiator issues get out of hand can result in very expensive engine repairs.
