Radiator repair in North Parramatta
Radiator repair at Vertex Automotive, 7 Daking Street, North Parramatta, starts from $350 for a common car: the system pressure-tested to find the leak, the radiator or hose replaced, then refilled and bled. A leaking radiator gives you warning, a sweet smell, a damp patch at the front of the car or an overflow bottle that keeps dropping, so fix it before it overheats the engine.
Radiators fail in a few common ways: the plastic end tanks crack where they meet the core, the core corrodes and weeps, or it blocks inside and stops shedding heat. A cap that no longer holds pressure can look like a radiator fault as well.
More detail
We pressure-test the system cold to find where the coolant is going, and check the cap, hoses and fan while we are there. Then you get a price for the part that has actually failed.
Most modern radiators are replaced rather than repaired, because the plastic tanks are crimped on. Where a hose or a clamp is the leak, that is all we replace.

How much does a radiator replacement cost?
Cooling repairs start from $350 for a common car. The radiator your model takes sets the final price, which we confirm in writing before any work starts.
Can a leaking radiator be repaired?
Sometimes. A leaking hose or clamp is a simple fix. A cracked plastic tank or a corroded core usually means a new radiator, because a repair to either does not last.
Can I drive with a leaking radiator?
Only if the level stays up and the gauge stays normal, and only to get it here. If the gauge climbs, pull over and switch off: an overheated engine costs far more than a radiator.
Should the coolant be changed?
Coolant loses its corrosion protection with age, and old coolant is one reason radiators corrode. Your handbook gives the interval, and a new radiator always gets fresh coolant.
What are the signs of a leaking radiator?
- A sweet smell after a drive
- Green, pink or orange coolant under the front of the car
- The overflow bottle keeps dropping
- The temperature gauge climbing in traffic
- Rust or a white crust on the radiator fins
