FAQs About Radiator Repairs

What can lead to the failure of a radiator?
Radiators can break down due to corrosion, internal clogging, and leakage from damaged hoses or seals. These problems can sometimes be avoided through consistent maintenance.
Is it safe to drive a vehicle with a damaged radiator?
No, driving a car with a damaged radiator results in overheating of the engine which in turn damages the engine. For any problem related to the radiator, it is advisable to take your car for repair as soon as possible.
When should a person consider a full radiator replacement instead of just a repair?
Sometimes, the damage can be very severe, for instance, large cracks, severe rusting, or other forms of corrosion and this may require that the whole of the radiator is changed. Our technicians will examine the radiator and then advise on the best course of action whether to repair or replace the unit.
How long can it take to complete the repair of a radiator?
It may only take a few hours to repair a radiator, but this can extend depending on the extent of the problem. If, for some reason, the radiator has to be changed then it may take longer.
Are there additional charges when I want to fix a radiator?
At Highlands Automotive, there are no hidden costs because we give our clients an accurate quotation on the work that needs to be done. A simple repair on a radiator is going to cost you differently from a complex one like a replacement so it all depends on the amount of damage on the radiator.
