The year, make and model of your car


The profile of your vehicle will have some influence on the cost of repairs or replacing your radiator, because it will determine how easy it is to work on and how readily available any essential parts or materials are to source. Current or recent models by mainstream manufacturers will often be easy to repair because parts are easy to find, and their build will be familiar to most mechanics. If your car is a vintage model or something high-end that isn’t produced on a large scale, you may require a specialist to do the work properly. At Applied Radiators Ltd, we have extensive experience working with a range of classic cars.


The nature of the damage


If the damage is contained only within the main body of the radiator, then a replace or replacement should be relatively simple. Things get more complex if fans or thermostats are broken, and the cost of sourcing new parts will rise. The Applied Radiators Ltd team will always be completely transparent about the extent of the damage and the estimated cost to repair and replace all necessary parts.


The location of your radiator


Radiators are easier to reach and work with on some vehicle models than others, so if your car happens to have a radiator that is more complex to get to, this may mean more labour hours and a higher cost for repair or replacement. Your mechanic will always let you know about this when producing a quote for your repair.
