Radiator Repair
Our radiator repair services address leaks, core damage, and corrosion using precision techniques like soldering, sandblasting, and welding. We handle brass, copper, and aluminum radiators, ensuring optimal cooling efficiency for heavy-duty trucks. Clients benefit from restored performance and extended radiator lifespan.
Liquefied DPF Cleaning
This advanced cleaning process removes soot and ash from diesel particulate filters using deionized water and surfactants, restoring OEM flow rates in under four hours. The non-destructive method prolongs filter life while ensuring compliance with emissions standards and minimizing downtime.

Have tried to get stainless tubes made on a number of occasions. All I've gotten are excuses why they can't get it done. Mostly their excuse is the welder did not show up for work. I've been fixing truck engines for 29 years and I don't put up with their lame excuses anymore.

Overpriced. Went there to have an AC line made 1- first off they said the guy who makes them lines went out for lunch and we don't know when he is coming back (that was a ridiculous answer) stay away 2- they made half of the line and reused the other half from the old line that I gave them and they still charged me for a whole new one. It is a rip off. So disappointing, stay away Make sure you get what you need before giving them money or go somewhere else, stay away. On top of that customer service is so horrible you don't see any kind of respect as a customer. Absolutely Will NEVER EVER go there again
