Your radiator hoses are under a lot of pressure, in both the figurative and literal sense. From Harold's Used Auto Parts Inc in Philadelphia, PA, here’s what you need to know about the radiator hoses on your car, truck, or SUV.

As far as hoses go, the hoses for your radiator are pretty durable. However, extreme temperatures, pressure, exposure to the elements, and wear and tear from constant expansion and retraction eventually take their toll. At some point, your radiator hoses will need to be replaced, and hoses are a maintenance item best taken care of before one cracks or breaks.

When a radiator hose fails completely, your car will rapidly lose coolant, your engine will begin to overheat, and you’ll find yourself stranded with steam rising from the hood before you even know what’s happening. Fortunately, hoses are an item our technicians keep a close eye on at Harold's Used Auto Parts Inc, where we like to catch potential issues before they become real ones.

Our technicians will inspect your hoses for breaks, dry rot, and deformities that indicate you have a radiator hose that needs to be replaced. If it’s too late for an inspection, and you’re already dealing with a leaky radiator hose, we can fix that too. We always use high quality parts and provide the type of top notch service that will have you reliably back on the road in no time.
