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:

Tito and Carlos were professional and kind when I walked in. I needed a jump for my car a few blocks down, and Joe's was extremely gracious and ended up… read more helping me out.

I usually don't write reviews but they were very quick, super friendly and I didn't feel iffy about the tire patch. They also changed my flat tire and put the spare back in its compartment!

Small businesses struggling and removing frustration on customers. I went in to get a quote for a pair of tires as I like to support local businesses first. The owner… read more Jose was consistently being condescending, grumpy and rude to me when I asked a few questions. At one point upon learning of incredibly attractive prices I told him that his quotes were surprisingly better than Costco – he just lost his cool and said “Get the F out of here and go to Costco” and his assistant acted like a goon and told me “why are you even standing here, we don't lose anything” – so yeh, they sure earned my business.. no wonder when small businesses should in fact have much better customer service act in this manner, the bigger giants win. Having a bad day? Don't take it on me.

If you're going to buy tires I'd suggest getting them here. Yeah you could probably find them cheaper online but then who's going to install them? Are they going to… read more come with a rest warranty and fee rotation? Probably not.
Sometimes you have to pay a little more to just have peace of mind.
I like how they also operate alongside Toyota of Berkeley. I own a Toyota and it's just reassuring that they operate under one roof.
They are great at customer service and will try their best to accommodate whatever it is you're looking for.
Show up with a selection of tires you've spent weeks looking through online and they will do their best to get them for you.
They might even have them in stock.
If they can't get the ones you want they will help you out in selecting a what would be their equal.
I don't usually review places that don't serve food. But they deserve it.
Thanks
