Do you offer same-day radiator repair?

Many repairs can be completed the same day if you bring your vehicle in early morning. Complex repairs or re-cores typically take 1-2 business days.

Can you repair aluminum radiators or only replace them?

We specialize in aluminum radiator repair. Our welders have decades of experience with TIG welding aluminum.

Do you work on industrial equipment?

Yes, industrial cooling systems are a major part of our business. We service radiators, oil coolers, and heat exchangers for oil and gas equipment, generators, compressors, and heavy machinery throughout Alberta.

What's the difference between radiator repair and re-coring?

Repair addresses specific damage like leaks or cracks while keeping the original core. Re-coring replaces the internal tubes and fins while reusing the original tanks.

Do you offer any warranty on repairs?

Yes, all our repair work is warrantied. Specific warranty terms depend on the type of repair.
