Have you ever had a cold or the flu and you’ve spiked a fever, causing your temperature to rise? It’s not fun to feel that way, is it? Being sick and overheated causes a person to be tired, and their performance drops significantly. Now imagine this same situation happening to your vehicle. When your radiator is not working properly, it is like giving your engine a fever. This not only harms performance, but can cause major damage. We know that a leak in your radiator can turn a messy situation into a major repair for your vehicle. Your radiator is one of your vehicle’s most vital components. The radiator displaces heat caused by your engine in order to keep the engine cool and running correctly. This is how a radiator works:
Ethylene glycol, better known as anti-freeze, is the neon green liquid that flows from your engine and then through your radiator to cool it. The liquid is able to cool by passing through tubes inside of the radiator. As the liquid passes through these tubes, the heat from the liquid is displaced by the tubes and small “fins” connecting the tubes of the radiator. The liquid flows through these fins and tubes and the surrounding air is warmed by the displacement of heat. The liquid’s heat is lost by allowing the radiator’s assembly to “radiate” the heat caused by the liquid into the air. A fan pushes that hot air away from the radiator. Air heats up fast, so replacing the warm air around the radiator with cool air is extremely important. When the coolant finally exits the tube and fin assembly of the radiator, it has been sufficiently cooled and passes through the engine again.
The first thing that our team of professionals will tell you is that it is best to keep your engine running cool as to allow the engine to run more cleanly and efficiently. This in turn will allow your engine to last as long as possible and keep it safe from abnormal wear and tear. If that leak is not fixed properly as soon as possible, your engine may overheat causing very costly damage including:

Paid $$ to have a tire patched. A couple months later it started going flat again. Had to bring it to a different shop to fix the poor patch job

I got exceptional service here at Joe's Tires! I went in for a flat tire and was able to be seen immediately on a Saturday. They also found another nail… read more in another tire! They were able to patch one for about ~$30 and had to get a new tire for the other. It was a bummer but they were able to handle it all for me and get me on the road by the next business day- Monday because they are closed on Sundays. Total was about $250-$280- not bad for patch, new tire, labor. Also the staff was incredibly friendly and understanding that I was upset- not at them but me getting nails in my tires *facepalm*. It was lame but glad Joe's Tires were there to help in a stressful time with the most hospitality!

Fantastic service, expert personnel, great prices… they charge too little! Bonus: They (rather than a phone hell recording) promptly answer the phone, and make it easy to get an appointment.

Unfortunately, I ended up with a flat tire about two weekends ago (definitely saw this coming, considering the tread on all four of my tires were worn down). I called… read more Joe's Tires and was quoted $532.99 for “out the door pricing, with EVERYTHING included” for four Falken tires. I was happy with the price, so I scheduled a next-day appointment. The morning of my appointment, I called to inquire about pricing for a different set of tires. Come to find that, while I was told the $532.99 quote was for a comprehensive service, she noted on her end that it was without alignment, which would cost an additional $120. Had this information been disclosed to me during my initial inquiry, I would have continued to shop around and consider other local shops. Being that street cleaning was scheduled for the upcoming Monday, it was important that I towed my car and resolved this before the weekend ended. I spoke to Carlos and expressed my dissatisfaction with the service I received over the phone – I felt as though the person I originally spoke to knew I was working on a tight timeline and took advantage of that fact by being dishonest about pricing. He was willing to remedy the situation by providing excellent customer service. Carlos offered me the alignment for $89 and gave me a $10 discount on each tire to match the pricing of the tire I was calling to inquire about. The total for this service was approximately $570 (including all four tires, a tire disposal fee, alignment, balancing, wheel weights, and a warranty) and it was quick and easy. All tires purchased from Joe's come with a warranty, which is a huge plus! I plan to return as a customer in the future and to recommend this business to my friends and family. Thank you for the excellent customer service Carlos and Joe's Tires!

Incredible service. Indeed, as others have said, Tito and his team went above and beyond. Tito explained everything in great detail, educated us about tires in general, gave us options,… read more zero pressure about anything, incredibly thorough, kind, respectful, competent, efficient, and more. Many thanks to Tito and Jose! I can't imagine going anywhere else.

My experiences with Joe's Tires have always been great. A few years ago I hit a bad pothole, resulting in damaged tires and two cracked shock absorbers. The repair quote… read more from my dealer made me cry. I'd gotten new tires from Joe's not that long before, and decided to call them for a second opinion. They fixed my car for significantly less and did great work. That made me a loyal customer. Recently hit another pot hole on a dark rural road, which put the car so badly out of alignment I had to pull the steering wheel to the left to keep the car straight. I was really lucky that nothing was truly broken, and the good folks at Joe's were able to correct the severe misalignment and get me up and running smoothly again. From tires, to new break pads, to car batteries, to alignments, and new windshield wipers, I've always felt treated fairly, and with kindness and respect. Thank you, Joe's Tires!

Very quick and simple. No upselling and whatnot. On top of changing my tire, they kindly tidied up the spare back into the compartment.
