Radiator Repair Blaine Clark Automotive’s technicians are experts in radiator repair. And as we head into the winter months once again, you will want the assurance that your car’s radiator will be in good working order.

So let us help you get your car ready for the winter months. Our auto repair shop is convenently located in Blaine, Minnesota.

Professional Radiator Repair Shop, Blaine

Radiator repair requires the right tools and, most importantly, the professional background to do the job correctly. Most people simply do not possess the training to thoroughly repair a radiator. Our mechanics are certified and have received extensive training for a wide range of automotive problems. They have extensive experience with issues that allow them to not only repair the first-line problem, but also any underlying problems that have led to the present problem. For your safety, we recommend bringing your car in to our shop so that you can feel assured that your radiator has been repaired properly.

If you have seen evidence of leaking, it may be coolant coming from your car’s radiator. You can add coolant as frequently as needed in order to get the level back to normal. But if you are not able to find and repair the structure where the leak is occurring, you will simply be pouring good coolant after bad. Before long, the amount of money you will have spent on replacement coolant could add up to more than the cost of a proper repair by Clark Automotive. We do understand the desire to apply the ‘easy’ fix. But with a system as complex as the cooling system, you simply should not take the chance of applying a fix that does not solve the problem. We have the means of repairing your radiator the right way.

It is therefore best to bring your car in at the first sign of a radiator problem.

Evaluating A Coolant Leak

And Clark Automotive has certainly earned that label. Most of us who have owned a car know that radiators can be sensitive, unpredictable and should not be repaired in our own garages. If you have noticed a viscous substance puddling up in your driveway, and you suspect that that substance is coolant, you may well have a coolant leak. It is not a problem you can solve by pouring more coolant into your radiator. You may try to solve the problem yourself with a leak sealant of some kind, but they are notorious for not working. To ensure that you don’t end up spending more money in the long run by spending little bits here and there, take your car to Clark Automotive and get the job done right. Your car’s cooling system is vital to the proper functioning of your automobile.

If your car is overheating or has a leak, the cause can be attributed to one or more of a number of things. Some of the causes include hot weather, low water and/or low coolant levels, or leaks in the radiator or elsewhere in the cooling system. Good maintenance is necessary for the longevity of all cars, and Clark Automotive offers vehicle maintenance that guarantees peace of mind.
