Radiator Replacement
Keep your engine cool and prevent overheating with our professional radiator replacement service. We swap out damaged units with high-quality radiators to ensure efficient heat dissipation and peak performance. Drive with confidence with our full-service radiator replacement.
In the extreme heat of Gilbert, Arizona, where temperatures frequently exceed 115°F, your vehicle’s radiator plays a vital role in protecting your engine from overheating. The radiator is the heart of your engine’s cooling system, responsible for dissipating the intense heat generated during operation. A malfunctioning radiator—whether due to cracks, leaks at seams, corrosion, or internal clogs—poses a serious risk to your engine’s health. Overheating can lead to severe damage such as warped cylinder heads, blown head gaskets, or even total engine failure.
At Apex Automotive, David Jr. is your personal mechanic who prioritizes diagnosis before replacement. We understand that not every cooling system issue demands a new radiator, so we begin with a thorough inspection. Our diagnostic process includes pressure testing the cooling system to pinpoint leaks and performing flow tests to detect clogs. This approach helps us avoid unnecessary parts replacement, saving you time and money.
When radiator replacement is necessary, we provide a comprehensive service tailored to the demanding desert climate. We start by safely draining the old coolant and removing the faulty radiator. Then, we install a high-quality replacement that meets or exceeds OEM standards, ensuring reliable cooling performance. We also inspect and, if needed, service related components such as radiator hoses, the thermostat, and cooling fans to maintain the entire system’s efficiency.
After installation, we refill the cooling system with the correct type of antifreeze compatible with your vehicle and local climate, including considerations for refrigerants like R-134a or R-1234yf in your AC system. Properly bleeding all air from the system is a crucial final step to prevent overheating and maintain consistent cooling.
Don’t let Arizona’s harsh heat threaten your engine’s longevity. Schedule an appointment with David Jr. at Apex Automotive to ensure your cooling system is up to the task, keeping your vehicle running smoothly and reliably all year round.
