Radiator and cooling

Running coolin every season

Radiators, water pumps, thermostats, hoses and coolant. We pressure test the system, find the leak or the restriction, and call you with the number before anything is touched.

Drop it off in the morning and you will hear from us before we close.

1 yearWorkmanship warranty

Twelve months on the labour, with parts carrying their own coverage.

AcceptedExtended warranties

We work with most major extended warranty providers on covered repairs.

What it is

Your coolingsystem, in full

Coolant runs one loop through the engine, the radiator and the heater, so we check all of it before quoting any of it.

Radiator and hoses

Pressure tested for leaks, with the hoses squeezed and the clamps checked while it holds.

Pump and thermostat

The water pump moves it and the thermostat meters it. A wobble or a stuck valve shows up fast.

Coolant and heater core

The right coolant at the right strength for South Dakota winters, and the heater core that keeps the cab warm.

How it works

How coolingrepairs run

01

The pressure test

The system held under pressure to show us where it leaks, plus a look at the pump, cap and hoses.

02

The call

Where the leak sits, what it wants, and the price before we start.

03

The work

New parts fitted, the system filled and bled properly, and brought up to temperature before you collect it.

Included

With everycooling repair

  • The coolant your engine calls for, at winter strength
  • The system filled and bled so the gauge sits where it should
  • A pressure test after the work confirms the fix
  • A one-year warranty on our workmanship

Tell us what it's doing

You do not need to know the name of the part. Describe the noise, the feeling or the light, and we will take it from there. Most estimates go out the same business day.

If you would rather talk it through, call (605) 339-9717 and describe what it is doing.

We answer Monday through Friday during shop hours, and we will only use your details to get back to you about your vehicle.

Before you come in

Questions we get about cooling systems

Topping off keeps you moving this week, and the level dropping is the system telling you where it is headed. A pressure test finds the leak while it is still a hose clamp rather than a radiator.

In winter that is usually the cooling system talking: low coolant, air in the loop or a thermostat stuck open. The same test that finds a leak sorts the heater out too.

A climbing gauge wants the engine off sooner rather than later, because heat is the most expensive thing that can happen to it. Pull over, let it cool, and call us. Describe what you saw and we will tell you whether it should be driven or towed.

It ranges from a hose and a clamp to a radiator, which is why we pressure test first and call with the number before starting. Ask us and we will give you a range over the phone.
