Why Wilkesboro drivers book mobile radiator replacement
Wilkesboro is the Wilkes County seat, up NC-16 through Taylorsville or NC-115 from Statesville. It's the northwest corner of our hour. 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)
