When I lived in Southern California, we used Victor’s Radiator Service, an awesome radiator shop that we used all the time to clean and reseal radiators. They also cleaned and resealed heater cores and gas tanks and were a great resource that charged very fair prices. When I moved to Dallas it was a real pain to find someone with the same services, and when asking around I heard lots of folks complain about what it cost to have a radiator repaired. I often think that one of the reasons that people complain about the cost of a service is because they don’t know what it takes to do the work, so they don’t appreciate the skills, labor, and time that go into it.
In the video below you’ll see just how they remove the tanks from a traditional brass and copper radiator, then flush and clean the core. You’ll be amazed at the solids that are in the tanks on this old radiator as well, which lets you know how important coolant is to keep the cooling system clean.
Check it out.
