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

Don’t Let a Small Leak Turn into a Big Problem

A compromised radiator can lead to engine overheating, costly damage, or even leave you stranded. At Western Auto Care & Radiator Specialties, we specialize in radiator repair to help your cooling system work as it should—efficiently, reliably, and affordably.

Signs Your Radiator Needs Repair

Be on the lookout for:

• Coolant leaking under the vehicle

• Engine running hot or overheating frequently

• Swelling, rust, or corrosion on the radiator or its fittings

• Radiator fins bent, clogged, or blocked

• Low coolant levels without obvious external leak

• Discolored or bad-smelling coolant

• Steam from under the hood or puddles after driving

If you notice any of these, don’t wait—early repair can save you time, money, and engine damage.

What We Offer: Radiator Repair Services

At Western Auto Care & Radiator Specialties, our repair services include:

1. Comprehensive Diagnostics & Leak Detection
   We pressure‐test the cooling system, inspect hoses, seals, connections, and related components to locate the exact problem.

2. Minor Repairs & Welding
   For small cracks, pinhole leaks, or broken fins, we offer specialized welding or patch repairs (where safe and effective).

3. Core & Tank Replacements
   If parts like end tanks or cores are damaged, we can replace just those components instead of replacing the whole radiator, when viable.

4. Flushing & Coolant Refresh
   Remove old, contaminated coolant, flush the system to clear debris, and refill with fresh coolant to help restore proper flow.

5. Sealing and Maintenance
   Fixing seals, replacing worn components (caps, clamps, hoses) to ensure the repaired radiator holds up and performs well.

6. Repair vs. Replacement Consultation
   If damage is extensive, we’ll give you an honest recommendation—repair if possible; full replacement if it’s safer or more cost‐effective long‐term.

Common Questions

How long does a radiator repair take?
Depends on the damage. Minor leaks or welding might be done in a couple of hours; more serious component repair may take longer. We’ll give a time estimate once we diagnose.

Is it safe to repair or do I need a full replacement?
If damage is limited to small leaks or external issues, repair is often safe. But if there’s major structural damage, internal corrosion, or failure of tanks/cores, replacement may be more reliable.

What’s the cost?
Varies depending on vehicle make/model, extent of damage, and parts needed. We always give you a full estimate before starting.
