A radiator is one of the car engine’s main cooling system components. The radiator works to eliminate heat in the engine by keeping your coolant cool. It will disperse a mixture of coolant with water through its fins to exchange the heat with the air that moves through the radiator. A failing radiator can cause an engine to overheat and malfunction.
When you need radiator repair or replacement in Brookhaven, Georgia, contact McCullough NAPA Auto Care to diagnose and troubleshoot any problems with your radiator and cooling system.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Radiator Repair or Replacement
A malfunctioning radiator can lead to all sorts of mechanical issues within your car. The job of the radiator is to keep your engine from overheating. Here are the signs that you have a bad or failing radiator.
1 – Your Engine is Overheating
The radiator is the only component designed to keep your engine cool. If your engine is overheating, especially under normal driving conditions, then you have a failing radiator. The cause can range from low levels of radiator coolant to entire radiator replacement.
2 – Sludge Build-Up in your Radiator
Radiator fluid is usually green, yellow, orange, or pink. Discolored or rust-colored coolant is a sign of sludge build-up within the radiator. These contaminants can greatly impact cooling performance.
3 – Leaking and Low Levels of Coolant
Do you constantly find yourself needing to add coolant to your radiator? Perhaps you notice a pool of green, yellow, orange, or pink liquid on the floor beneath your car after it’s been parked for some time. Whether it’s the radiator itself, or a problem with the engine block or a hose, a coolant leak is a sure sign that your radiator needs repair. Our shop can perform a pressure test on your radiator to determine the cause of the coolant leak.

Wow! I am so impressed with the service I received. Having moved here from Nashville I was nervous about finding a mechanic! These guys are BUSY but they treat every customer like their priority. I got my car repaired within two days on a weekend! Prices can’t be beat and I was getting phone calls with detailed status updates. Amazing service. Really compassionate. Please doing business! I thought I was going to have to spend thousands fixing the plate that was dragging under my car but I got it fixed for under $200! Thank you!!!

Eric at McCullough has been taking care of my family's [multiple] cars for over 10 years now. A Volkswagen, a Nissan, and 2 Acuras: They've done minor repairs all the way to major transmission replacements. Eric is trustworthy, honest, and tells you what really needs to be done versus what can wait. Their prices seem reasonable (although in fairness I haven't been anywhere else recently b/c I'm so pleased with them), they are timely, and always communicate what the car needs in detail. I can't recommend these guys enough!

They figured out the issue with my Pathfinder and made the repair quickly. Eric is very thorough and kept me up to date the entire time. This was my first time using them but I will use them again!

October 21, 2021Able to fix issue with my 2011 truck other shops could not address- very hard to diagnose mechanical issue another reputable shops couldn’t figure out. Good prices, done on time, and with expert mechanics. Will have them work on all of my vehicles and highly recommended. Support a family owned business for a change!

I own and automotive repair business in Jacksonville, but my wife lives in Atlanta and needed tires for her car, so I know good service and fair pricing in this industry. I chose McCullough because of their good reviews and they did not disappoint. They were very professional and took good care of my wife. I would highly recommend them and will continue to use them for her service needs.

October 21, 2019Quick and excellent service. I was turned away at my regular mechanic because he said he didn’t know how to do a transmission fluid change. This was my first time ever going to McCullough auto care, and I was very happy with my service. They were able to see me immediately and were patient with me considering the circumstances. Eric was great, and even matched the prices of another mechanic down the road. I will be back! Would recommend!

Always great service. Always a fair price for very highly skilled technicians. After 20 years of depending on them, I've come to trust McCullough Auto Care blindly.

November 25, 2019Brian and the team were fantastic with handling my issue. In fact they discovered a major error which occurred when I had my last oil change done at a quick oil change place, which turned out to be the cause of my issue. They took pics of it and wrote out an explanation for me to give to the previous oil chance place. Because of their extra effort, I am getting reimbursed for the error. I highly recommend Brian and the team!

February 3, 2022Very respectful, honest, and professional. I was having issues with my headlights, and they fixed it for a reasonable price. They do a lot to ensure that you have a positive experience, and that you're not wasting your money on unnecessary parts or repairs. Top notch service, A+!

This has to be the best shop in town! When I got my car fixed the last time, It drove live new. I've never been so happy to get my car fixed in my life. They were very friendly and honest. This will be my go to place from now on. Not too far from my house which is a huge plus but even if it were, I'd be game to making the trip. Thanks for being honest and giving great service!

My truck broke down when we got to Atlanta on the way to Disney world. A local stopped to help us and recommended this place. This place got me in and got the radiator fixed for a very fair price and on our way the next day very quickly. I was so impressed and it's no surprise they are very busy. Thank you so much and my family all got to the resort and is having a great time!! These people are great and will get your vehicle fixed for a fair price. Plus, you get Napa warranty all over the country at least I did on the repair I got. Please support them!!!

September 16, 2019This place is right by my house. I was really happy with the customer service. I was worried about affordability and turn over but they were efficient and I will be back for any future needs.

August 30, 2020After recently moving to the area, I had a vehicle emergency where my transmission needed replacing. Graham immediately took me in and was SO kind, professional, and direct about the costs; one of their kind staff members even drove me home after my car was dropped for repair so that I did not have to call a car service. They were so patient with me and got my car back to me in one day completely fixed and ready to go! I will never use any other automotive repair shop in the area! ABSOLUTELY recommend without hesitation!
