Today's Tip from Old School -- Radiators -- No quick fixes!

So, your radiator has a leak. Bummer. Your friend says to pour some pepper in it. The parts store has this stuff called stop leak for it. What to do?

Well, before you take either step, think about this. The antifreeze that runs through your radiator also runs through your entire motor to keep it cool. So does anything else you pour into the radiator! Pepper tends to gather in tight spots and create clogs...in your motor and your radiator. Stop leak creates a gummy substance which does tend to slow some leaks, but as the gummy stuff travels through your motor, it gums it up as well. The damage done to the motor afterward is usually MUCH more expensive than the original radiator would have been!

So, what to do? If your radiator is leaking, get it to a mechanic. New radiators, depending on the year, make, and model of your car, start around $100.00. Compare this to thousands for having to replace the entire motor, and the answer is easy.

By the way, critters like to nest in cars that sit for a while. Below is a radiator we replaced in a car that could not be driven for a few months. See the rust? That comes from putting water instead of antifreeze in the cooling system. Water rusts over time. Antifreeze won't. Water is a temporary emergency fix only.

Come see us!

Well folks, we're not carpenters, but we like it! Shop's been kinda slow at times, so we've been working on making the office and bathroom a little more comfortable.

Our work on Dayson Garner's vehicle, the Bull Frog, comes to fruition. Leave it to my wonderful boy to figure out how to help people with it! Awesome young man, and his awesome dad. Feeling blessed.

My son's a happy customer, even if he does pay in hugs! All that's left is the paint job...at least on the outside... :)

This is a big part of what we did Labor Day weekend!
