A healthy radiator is critical to keeping your engine cool and your vehicle on the road. At Red River Auto Care, we provide professional radiator repair and cooling system service in Bossier City and Shreveport, LA. From coolant leaks to engine overheating, our certified technicians have the tools and expertise to keep your car running safely and reliably.

Your radiator is the heart of your vehicle’s cooling system. It circulates coolant through your engine, absorbs excess heat, and releases it into the air to prevent overheating. Without a properly functioning radiator, your engine can quickly become dangerously hot.

If you notice any of these symptoms while driving around Bossier City, Shreveport, or North Louisiana, it may be time for radiator service:

• Engine temperature gauge running hot
   
• Steam coming from under the hood
   
• Coolant leaks (bright green, orange, or pink fluid under your car)
   
• Sweet smell from the engine bay (a sign of leaking antifreeze)
   
• Frequent need to top off coolant
   
• Rust or sludge inside the radiator
   

Allowing your engine to overheat is one of the most serious risks you can take with your vehicle. Overheating can cause:

• Blown Head Gaskets – Allowing coolant and oil to mix, leading to costly repairs
   
• Warped or Cracked Cylinder Heads – Severe damage that can render an engine unusable
   
• Damaged Pistons and Rings – Reducing compression and engine performance
   
• Complete Engine Failure – In extreme cases, overheating can destroy an engine entirely
   

Driving with an overheating engine—even for a short time—can turn a minor radiator leak into thousands of dollars in repairs.

Coolant leaks are a frequent issue in Louisiana’s hot climate. Some common causes include:

• Cracked radiator tanks
   
• Worn radiator hoses
   
• Failing water pumps
   
• Loose or corroded hose clamps
   
• Damaged radiator caps
