Reconditioned Radiator Maintenance

When you’re in business, every single penny counts. Installing reconditioned radiators into your fleet is a great way to cut costs and keep your vehicles moving. But there are many myths and half-truths surrounding reconditioned radiators. Many people are convinced that Reconditioned Radiators aren’t good value for money, aren’t reliable, or don’t perform as well as new ones. 

So, are reconditioned radiators a smart buy? At Applied Radiators, we think Applied Radiators deliver great value for money. To help you make up your mind on what to buy, we’ve debunked some of the most common myths surrounding reconditioned radiators


Reconditioned Radiators Are Not as Reliable

One misconception is that reconditioned radiators are less reliable than new ones. In reality, high-quality reconditioned radiators undergo rigorous testing and expert refurbishment to ensure they meet or exceed OEM standards. Reputable companies like Applied Radiators Ltd only use the best parts and processes to ensure reliability and durability.


Reconditioned Radiators Have a Shorter Lifespan Than New Radiators

Some people think reconditioned radiators won’t last as long as new ones, but this isn’t necessarily true. When properly refurbished and maintained, a reconditioned radiator can have a lifespan comparable to that of a brand-new radiator.


Reconditioned Radiators Are Not Suitable for High-Performance Vehicles

There’s a belief that reconditioned radiators can’t handle high-performance requirements. However, many reconditioned radiators are designed for rigorous applications and can perform just as effectively in high-demand environments. The truth is that reconditioned radiators are suitable for a variety of vehicle types, including commercial fleets.


Buying a Reconditioned Radiator Is Risky

Some people worry about limited warranties on reconditioned radiators, but many reputable providers offer warranties for peace of mind.


Reconditioned Radiators Are Just Old Parts Cleaned Up

A quality reconditioned radiator isn’t simply cleaned up. Reconditioned radiators are disassembled, inspected, and any worn components are replaced to ensure optimal performance.


Reconditioned Radiators Decrease a Vehicle's Resale Value

Reconditioned radiators are engineered to meet performance standards, so they typically don’t impact resale value, especially when professionally installed and maintained.


Reconditioned Radiators Are Bad for the Environment

In fact, reconditioned radiators are more environmentally friendly than new ones. They conserve materials and reduce waste.
