Your vehicle’s radiator is the heart of a cooling system designed to keep your car engine running at safe operating temperatures. A bad or faulty radiator can have catastrophic consequences; everything between your engine overheating, and total engine failure is well on the table.

Our cooling systems team at Greybeard Automotive can help stop costly damage from bad or faulty radiators. All you have to do is schedule an appointment at the first suggestion of radiator failure or, better still, hop in-shop for a cooling system check if it’s been a while since you last had one.

A faulty radiator can show up face in many ways. Your vehicle needs an inspection if you’ve seen any of the following signs recently:

• A raised car engine temperature
• Wet spots in and around your radiator, usually from coolant leakage
• Low radiator fluid/coolant levels
• Dramatic change in coolant color or consistency. If you notice sludge build-up that’s an emergency sign to get your vehicle in-shop ASAP.
