Hiddenite drivers book radiator replacement with Wrench Rescue because it's finished where the car sits. Coming up US-64 to Hiddenite is a normal run for us, and Alexander County is squarely inside our hour.
Why Hiddenite drivers book mobile radiator replacement
Hiddenite is gem-mine country west on US-64. Plenty of gravel and no shop for miles, so we come to you. That's exactly the situation mobile cooling & climate work solves: the mechanic comes to the vehicle, so a car that shouldn't be driven doesn't have to be.
What's included
Plastic end tanks crack, cores clog with corrosion, and a radiator that's leaking at the seam isn't repairable. We replace the radiator, the hoses that are usually just as old, and refill with the correct coolant, then bleed the system properly so there's no air pocket to cause a second overheat.
- Confirm the radiator is the leak source with a pressure test
- Drain coolant and disconnect hoses, fans, and transmission lines
- Install the new radiator with new hoses and clamps
- Refill, vacuum-bleed the system, and verify no leaks
- Run to temperature and confirm fan operation
Signs it's time
- Coolant leaking from the front of the car
- Green, orange, or pink crust on the radiator
- Overheating in traffic but fine at speed
- Transmission fluid in the coolant (on radiators with built-in coolers)
