My aluminum four core radiator has sprung a leak - any advise on a good repair shop? Geoff |

I took my first one to a local radiator repair shop, they just put some epoxy on it, which I could have done myself. They do NOT like aluminum radiators. Is your a brand name radiator? Like 'Be Cool' or U.S. Radiator? _________________ I'm addicted to brake fluid but I can stop anytime I want. |

Thanks guys. Marv - it's a Visteon radiator, looking through receipts for model number if that helps. Thanks again - Geoff |

Update: contacted Kirby's Radiator, great group of folks, they don't use epoxy, only weld, and guarantee their work. We are now doing business. Thanks again Marv and Don - we'll be up and running (and staying cool with no leaks) in no time. Geoff |
