The Radiator Shop Slidell

A simple habit that makes a big difference during hurricane season: keep your gas tank at least half full ⛽️

It reduces condensation in the tank and helps your fuel pump run cooler. It also makes sure you're ready to move quickly if you need to evacuate.

The carpool line and trips back and forth to practice add up quickly. Make sure your vehicle is equipped to keep up before the school year kicks in to gear.

Give us a call at 985-643-8080 to schedule maintenance, or just stop by the shop. From oil changes and brakes to cooling systems and tires, we'll make sure you're covered!

Counting down to White Linen & Lagniappe!

July is coming to an end, so that means it's time for one of our favorite summer traditions... White Linen & Lagniappe! 🤍

Join us August 8th from 6 to 9pm right here in Olde Towne for our 9th Annual White Linen & Lagniappe event! It will be an evening of fine arts, shopping, dining, live music, and a little something extra. 😉

Bring the whole family, dress in your coolest summer linens, and come soak up everything that makes this night so special.

Be sure to stop by and meet Victoria Brand, the artist behind this year's White Linen & Lagniappe poster. She is an active member of the Slidell Art League, and her artwork is inspired by her faith, her love of storytelling, and the community she proudly calls home.

That squealing noise when you start up your engine?

It might be a worn serpentine belt, and that belt powers more than you might think, including your A/C.

When one finally gives out, it usually doesn’t go alone: your A/C, your charging system, and sometimes your cooling can quit at the same time.

Catching it early is always the less expensive option. If you hear that squealing noise, get it checked!

The face we all make when we get into the car 🫠

You know that smell when you first turn on your A/C after a while? Here's what you can do about it. ⬇️

How to Get Rid of Musty Smell From Car Air Conditioner - Consumer Reports Get rid of musty AC smells in your car with simple DIY tips—clean vents, replace filters, and disinfect the system.

We're manifesting no hurricanes this season, but just in case...

Make sure your vehicle's emergency kit has the basics you need before you even need to start planning:

▪️Flashlight
▪️Phone charger
▪️Water
▪️Jumper cables
▪️First aid kit
▪️Paper map of your route

See that component that looks like a mini radiator behind your grille? That's your condenser, and it plays a big role in keeping your A/C cold.

Its job is to cool down the refrigerant before it moves to the evaporator. If it's clogged or damaged, your A/C may never feel as cold as it should... no matter how high you turn it up.

The good news is a struggling condenser usually isn’t the end of your A/C. Depending on what’s wrong, it can often be cleaned out or replaced and the cold air comes right back. If your A/C is underperforming, don't procrastinate.. get it checked out!

One of our favorite Slidell summer traditions is just around the corner. Mark your calendars!
