Radiator Repair Services
EXPERT CARE FOR YOUR VEHICLE’S COOLING SYSTEMS
HOW DOES MY CAR’S RADIATOR WORK?
When you drive, the parts within your engine create some serious friction—and that friction generates heat. Your vehicle’s radiator and the rest of the cooling system helps your engine run efficiently at a carefully maintained temperature. Temperature is balanced by the water pump moving coolant from the engine to the radiator with self-regulating fans, but if any part of this system stops, your car can overheat fast. When you have radiator troubles, find the help you need at Firestone with our radiator fluid exchange and repair services.

COMMON RADIATOR REPAIR QUESTIONS
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A RADIATOR FLUID EXCHANGE?
Regular radiator fluid exchanges help prevent the buildup of particles and debris within the car's cooling system. If a car goes too long without a radiator fluid exchange, those particles and debris can block passages within the radiator and hinder its ability to keep the engine cool and running at normal operating temperatures. Check your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for a radiator fluid exchange service, typically every 30,000 miles.
WHEN SHOULD I GET A RADIATOR FLUID EXCHANGE VS. A RADIATOR REPAIR?
A radiator fluid exchange cleans your vehicle’s cooling system and recharges it with fresh coolant. A well-maintained radiator can last up to 10 years, but wear and damage can have you coming in earlier for radiator repair. Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines for when to schedule a fluid exchange. If you notice leaks or signs of overheating, schedule a repair appointment.
HOW MUCH DOES A RADIATOR REPAIR COST COMPARED TO A RADIATOR FLUID EXCHANGE?
It’s worth staying on top of radiator maintenance because radiator fluid exchanges cost significantly less than a full radiator repair. Radiator fluid exchanging is a type of preventative maintenance that requires less labor and fewer parts and typically costs no more than $200. A radiator repair includes thorough diagnostics and, depending on the damage and parts needed, can start at $300 and up.
