Radiator Core Service | Auto Repair Shop in Ogden for 70 Years

Extend the Life of Your Radiator with a Professional Recore

When a radiator is damaged or worn out, replacement isn’t always the only option. In many cases, a radiator recore is the most cost-effective and reliable solution. At Western Auto Care & Radiator Specialties, we specialize in radiator recore services that restore cooling performance and extend the life of your radiator, saving you money while maintaining top-quality results.

What Is a Radiator Recore?

A radiator recore involves removing the old, damaged core of your radiator while keeping the original tanks and framework intact. A new, high-quality core is installed in place of the old one, giving you a radiator that works like new without the cost of a complete replacement. This process is ideal for radiators that are unique, hard to replace, or part of classic and heavy-duty vehicles.

Signs You May Need a Radiator Recore

• Repeated overheating even after minor repairs

• Severe corrosion or damage to the radiator core

• Frequent coolant leaks from the central fins

• Clogged or blocked radiator passages

• Vehicle is older, rare, or has a hard-to-find replacement radiator

If your radiator tanks are still in good condition but the core is failing, a recore may be the perfect solution.
