Radiator Repair Needed With Engine Overheating?

Engine breakdowns are primarily caused by cooling system failure.  We believe a little cooling repair can go a long way to preventing a more costly engine problem.  Unlike many Radiator Service Shops that just perform a “drain-and-fill” of anti-freeze, Rum River Auto provides a complete radiator flushing service and radiator repair that includes the following:

• Pressure test and inspect the cooling system & components for leaks
• Add flush chemicals to the radiator
• Refill radiator with correct quantity of anti-freeze
• Add any lubricant or manufacturer required additive to cooling system as required
• Inspect important components like; radiator cap & hoses

Top Signs of Needing a Radiator Repair

In addition to checking your owner's manual for the manufacturer recommended cooling system service interval, we also suggest that you keep an eye out for the following symptoms of radiator service; your car or truck may need a cooling repair if:

• Notice a sweet or hot smell from underhood when engine is hot
• Engine belts and hoses are showing signs of wear, such as cracking.
• Dashboard temperature gauge illustrates the vehicle is running hot.
• Your vehicle's engine smells “hot”.
• Any (non-transparent) colored fluid is leaking from the engine area.
• You notice steam coming from the engine or hood.
• Follow the factory's recommended maintenance and replacement of anti-freeze.
