A leaking radiator loses coolant and can overheat the engine, which causes expensive damage. If you see coolant leaking or the temperature gauge rising, stop driving and have it serviced right away."},{"q":"Do you replace radiators at my home?","a":"Yes. We bring the radiator, coolant, and tools to your driveway or office and complete the replacement on-site, typically the same day depending on your vehicle."},{"q":"How much does radiator replacement cost?","a":"It varies by vehicle and radiator type. We diagnose the cooling system first and give you a clear, upfront price \u2014 including coolant and any hoses that need replacing \u2014 before any work begins."},{"q":"Should the hoses be replaced too?","a":"Often, yes. Radiator hoses age alongside the radiator, and replacing a worn hose while the system is open is far cheaper than a separate visit later. We inspect them and recommend only what's needed."},{"q":"Is the new radiator warrantied?","a":"Yes \u2014 radiator replacements carry our 12-month \/ 12,000-mile warranty on parts and labor."}],"footnotes":""},"novo_service_kind":[2],"novo_service_category":[7],"class_list":["post-49","novo_service","type-novo_service","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services\/49","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/novo_service"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services\/49\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":123,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services\/49\/revisions\/123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"novo_service_kind","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo_service_kind?post=49"},{"taxonomy":"novo_service_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo_service_category?post=49"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
