Expert Service for Long-Term Value
Radiator recoring isn’t a patch job—it’s a specialised service that replaces the core of your radiator while preserving the outer tanks and fittings. It’s ideal when the core is damaged but the rest of the unit is structurally sound. We carefully match materials, dimensions, and cooling specifications to maintain reliable performance.
Our Hervey Bay workshop is fully equipped to handle modern and traditional radiator designs, from commercial work vehicles to older models that are difficult to replace. We also inspect surrounding components to ensure the repair lasts and your cooling system stays balanced.
With more than 20 years of hands-on experience, we’ll walk you through the process and give you honest advice every step of the way. If your radiator is losing performance but isn’t quite ready for a replacement, recoring could be the perfect fit.
What is radiator recoring?
Radiator recoring involves replacing the internal core of a radiator while keeping the original tanks and fittings. It restores cooling performance without needing a full unit replacement.
When should a radiator be recored?
Recoring is a good option when the core is clogged, corroded, or leaking, but the tanks and mounting hardware are still in good condition. It’s often used in vintage or hard-to-source radiators.
Is recoring cheaper than replacing a radiator?
It can be. While not always cheaper upfront, recoring is often more cost-effective long term, especially when original radiators are high-quality or difficult to replace with aftermarket parts.
