Common Questions

How often should I flush my coolant? +

Most manufacturers recommend a coolant flush every 24,000 to 36,000 miles, or roughly every 2 to 3 years. However, if you notice a change in coolant color or consistency, or if your engine has been running hot, it's wise to have it checked sooner.

Can you weld a hole in my radiator? +

Yes! Soldering and brazing are common repairs for copper/brass radiators. For aluminum radiators, we use specialized welding techniques. We will assess the damage and recommend the most cost-effective and durable solution.

Is it worth repairing an old gas tank? +

Often, yes. Replacement tanks—especially for classic cars or trucks—can be very expensive. A professional repair can save you 50-70% compared to a new part. We treat the rust and apply a protective coating to ensure the repair lasts.

My car is overheating. What should I do? +

If your temperature gauge is rising, pull over safely and turn off the engine. Do not attempt to open the radiator cap while the engine is hot. Call us for a tow or diagnostic appointment. Driving an overheating vehicle can cause severe engine damage.

Do you work on diesel trucks? +

Yes, we service diesel vehicles, including radiators and fuel tanks for light and medium-duty trucks. For large heavy-duty tanks, we may need to visit your location for an on-site estimate.

How long does a typical repair take? +

Many minor radiator repairs can be completed within a few hours. Gas tank repairs may take 1-2 days due to chemical treatment and curing times. We always provide an estimated completion time when you drop off your vehicle.
