Complete radiator services for your vehicle
Your vehicle’s radiator is a key part of the cooling system, helping regulate engine temperature and prevent overheating. Regular radiator maintenance and timely repairs can protect engine performance, improve reliability, and help you avoid costly problems later on. If a radiator is leaking, blocked, or not working efficiently, it can lead to overheating, breakdowns, and in serious cases, major engine damage.

- Radiator leak detection and repairs
- Crack repairs

A radiator flush is the process of removing old coolant, rust, sludge, and built-up contaminants from your vehicle’s cooling system before replacing it with fresh coolant. This helps improve coolant flow, protects against corrosion, supports efficient engine cooling, and can reduce the risk of overheating or costly cooling system repairs.
Many leaks can be repaired if found early, particularly cracked seams, damaged fittings, or worn components. If the radiator is badly corroded or beyond repair, replacement may be the better long-term solution.
Often yes, especially for classic vehicles, commercial vehicles, or where replacement units are expensive or difficult to source. Re-cores and rebuilding can be a cost-effective option.
Yes. Burnside Radiators works on a wide range of vehicles including cars, utes, 4WDs, trucks, buses, machinery, campervans and classic vehicles requiring specialist radiator knowledge.
Fuel tank repairs may be needed if the tank has leaks, rust damage, dents, cracked seams, or mounting damage. Fuel tank cleaning is often recommended when there is contaminated fuel, internal rust, sludge, water in the tank, or debris affecting fuel flow. If your vehicle has fuel smells, leaks, poor running, or has been sitting unused for a long time, Burnside Radiators can inspect the tank and recommend whether repair, cleaning, or replacement is the best option.
