Title: Mechanic near Charlotte NC? Need radiator
Post by: MattysGarage on August 04, 2025, 15:54:40
Hello! I'm a new Pagoda owner and have a radiator leaking.  Could use a good Pagoda mechanic in Charlotte if anybody has a recommendation?  My apologies if posting this wrong as this is a new site for me.  Thanks and happy motoring! 8)

Since no one in your area has responded —-

The radiators in our cars can be repaired or recored by most radiator shops — they are not very different than cars of the era.  I have had two radiators recored at a traditional radiator shop.  Many shops are disappearing as replacement seems to be the trend with newer cars.

The radiator can be removed from below if you or the shop do not want to remove the hood.

When I first moved to Charlotte 20 years ago, there was a great old school shop in Plaza Midwood called  Auto Verks.  Alas, the area became trendy and the location is now an apartment building.
I recommend Pedro also but if he is too busy there is also Christian Salvi at Euro Prestige Imports

A third place that was recommended to me was Automotive International by Carowinds area, although I have no personal experience with them.
