Signs Your Radiator Needs Repair
A properly functioning radiator is essential for maintaining your vehicle’s engine temperature within safe limits. Be alert to these critical signs that suggest your radiator may require professional attention:
- Engine Overheating: An overheating engine, often indicated by the temperature gauge spiking or steam emanating from under the hood, typically points to a radiator malfunction, such as a leak or an obstruction preventing proper coolant flow.
- Low Coolant Levels: Regularly monitor your vehicle’s coolant reservoir. Persistently low levels, or finding puddles of coolant under your car, are telltale signs of a radiator leak that needs immediate repair.
- Discolored Coolant: The appearance of your coolant can reveal radiator health. Rusty, cloudy, or otherwise contaminated coolant often signals internal radiator corrosion or other significant issues within the cooling system.
- Coolant Odors: A sweet or acrid smell originating from the engine area or inside the cabin could indicate a coolant leak, which is often a precursor to overheating problems linked to radiator defects.
If you experience any of these signs, visit Sherman’s Auto Repair for a comprehensive radiator inspection and expert repair service.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How often should I have my vehicle's radiator serviced?
We recommend having your vehicle’s radiator and cooling system inspected at least once a year, ideally before the hot summer months when the system is under the most stress. Regular coolant flushes and replacements should be performed according to your vehicle’s manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule, typically every 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
Can I drive my vehicle if it's overheating?
If your vehicle begins to overheat, it’s crucial to pull over and turn off the engine as soon as it’s safe to do so. Continuing to drive an overheating vehicle can cause severe engine damage and may even lead to engine failure. If your vehicle overheats, have it towed to our shop for a thorough inspection and repair.
Can I use water instead of coolant in my vehicle's radiator?
While water can be used as a temporary solution in an emergency, it’s not recommended for long-term use. Coolant contains additives that protect against corrosion, freezing, and boiling, which water alone does not provide. Using water instead of coolant can lead to engine damage and cooling system issues over time. Always use the manufacturer-recommended coolant for your vehicle.
