Radiator Services

An automobile's radiator is responsible for cooling the vehicle's engine. The radiator is connected to the engine via hoses through which a fluid coolant (primarily water) is pumped.

If the radiator becomes clogged, or if the volume of coolant flow is reduced due to leaks, then the automobile is prone to overheat. Similarly, if the proper portion of antifreeze is not present in the cooling system during freezing weather, the fluid coolant may freeze. A frozen coolant fluid cannot circulate and may even crack the engine due to the expansion of the water becoming ice.

Retro Lube's radiator services address vehicles with factory-sealed radiators and those with non-sealed radiators. For automobiles with a factory-sealed radiator, Retro Lube checks the cooling system for leaks. For automobiles with a non-sealed radiator, Retro Lube services include: draining and flushing the cooling system, refilling the cooling system with fresh coolant, ensuring that the portion of antifreeze is suitable for the driving climate, and checking the cooling system for leaks.
