Radiator Recycle

We saved a radiator from the landfill. The Nissan had been running hot and we figured we could wait till spring to do the needed repairs. Well, it has been running hot while driving around town, so, to save the engine from having a premature meltdown we decided we had to get it fixed. For a number of years we have been taking our vehicles to A&A Auto on 3rd Street in San Jose. Dave is an awesome mechanic and will figure out what really needs to be done, and then do only the work necessary to fix a problem.
He took out the radiator, sent it to a radiator shop - can you believe there is still one operating - they tested, cleaned and restored the radiator. Dave reinstalled it and the whole shebang was half the cost of what the dealer wanted to do.
Repair, reuse, recycle...
