Aluminum Radiator Repair, Victorville CA
Aluminum Radiator Repair · Victorville CA
Nearly every late-model car, truck and SUV runs an aluminum core, usually with crimped-on plastic end tanks. When a tank splits, a gasket weeps or the neck breaks, re-tanking is frequently faster and cheaper than a whole new assembly.
We also handle all-aluminum performance and crossflow radiators. Every job starts with a pressure test so you know exactly what failed, and finishes with another one so you know it is fixed.

What this job involves
Plastic end tanks are the usual failure point. Years of heat cycling make the plastic brittle until it cracks at the neck or along the crimp. Replacing just the tank and gasket puts the vehicle back on the road at a fraction of the price of a complete radiator.
For all-aluminum performance cores we repair damage where the material allows and tell you honestly when replacement is the safer call. Either way you get a pressure-tested unit and our 1-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is re-tanking cheaper than a new radiator?
- In most cases yes, especially on trucks, SUVs and vehicles where a complete assembly has to be ordered in. We will price both and let you decide.
- Can you repair a radiator with a leaking transmission cooler?
- We test the internal cooler separately. If it is leaking, the tank containing it usually needs to be replaced — we do that work here.
