 (ARA) – Do you live in fear of your car’s temperature gauge? If you experience regular nightmares of standing on the roadside watching steam roll from under the hood of your car, it may be time for a long hard look at the radiator.
“If your car overheats often or the temperature gauge frequently makes it into the danger zone, that’s probably a sign that you need a new radiator,” says John Thys, a radiator expert with Radiator.com. “Most radiators have a natural life span of 5 or 6 years. Improvements in vehicle reliability mean many modern cars are outliving their original radiators. Fortunately, installing a new radiator is well within the abilities of most do-it-yourselfers.”
What might mystify even the most astute amateur mechanic is where to find the exact radiator he or she needs. “Used radiators can be unreliable, and that’s if you can even find a junk yard that has what you need,” Thys says. “Because of their unpredictability, used radiators can actually end up costing you much more in the long run. And ordering a new one from a dealer can be expensive.”
Smart do-it-yourselfers are going online for their radiator needs, where Radiator.com puts an inventory of more than 200,000 radiators, for virtually every make and model of car on the road today, just a day away. With a network of 150 franchise locations across the country, in many areas the company is able to deliver a radiator to a customer on the day the order is received. Next-day delivery is available in all regions. Prices are well below what a consumer could expect to pay for the same radiator from a dealer.
Visitors to the Web site will find a listing of virtually every type car built. The site prompts users to help them identify the exact radiator for their needs. “For example, there are several different radiators that might fit into your 1995 Chevy pickup truck,” Thys notes. After consumers enter some basic information into Radiator.com’s system, a radiator specialist will contact them and help identify the exact radiator for their particular vehicle.
In business for 20 years, the company has provided replacement radiators for millions of consumer throughout its history. Each radiator is covered by a lifetime warranty. Every radiator the company ships is also accompanied by Radiator.com’s signature – a bag of candy.
“It’s our way of saying thanks for your business, and reminding customers that replacing a faulty radiator is ‘sweet’ on many levels – from saving money to the satisfaction of doing the job yourself,” says Thys.
