Where can I get commercial & construction equipment radiator repair in Victorville, CA?
Our D Street radiator shop at 17033 D St, Victorville, CA 92395 specializes in commercial & construction equipment radiator repair. Call (760) 241-4253 to discuss your unit and arrange an inspection.
Downtime on a jobsite costs more than the repair. We rebuild, rod out and recore radiators, oil coolers and charge-air coolers for construction equipment across the High Desert — forklifts, telehandlers, dozers, excavators, skid steers, backhoes, loaders, generators and water trucks.
Pull the unit and bring it to the D Street shop and we will test it, tell you what it needs, and in most cases have it back to you in a day or two instead of waiting weeks on a factory part.

When should this radiator be inspected?
- My equipment overheats under load
- The radiator is packed with dust and debris
- The factory no longer sells this radiator
What radiator problems can we address?
“The radiator is packed with dust and debris”
External buildup reduces airflow, but aggressive cleaning can damage fins. We inspect and clean according to the unit's construction.
“The factory no longer sells this radiator”
A custom recore may reuse sound tanks and mounts. Bring machine identification and the original unit so dimensions and construction can be assessed.
What does commercial & construction equipment radiator repair involve?
Equipment radiators live in dust, chaff and vibration. Fins pack solid, tubes scale over, and mounting tabs crack from years of bouncing across rough ground. We clean the core, rod the tubes, repair or replace tanks and side channels, then pressure test the assembly before it goes back on the machine.
Many older machines have radiators that are simply not sold anymore. A custom recore built to your original dimensions, tube count and fin spacing keeps the equipment earning instead of parked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair forklift and telehandler radiators?
- Yes. Forklifts, telehandlers, dozers, excavators, skid steers, loaders and generators are all regular work at the D Street shop.
How fast can you turn around an equipment radiator?
- Most repairs and recores are finished in one to two business days. Unusual custom cores can take longer, and we tell you up front before any work starts.
Do I need to bring the whole machine?
- No. Most customers remove the radiator and bring just the unit to us, which keeps the cost down and the machine on site.
How much will this radiator repair cost?
- The condition, construction and work needed determine the cost. We provide a free written estimate after assessing the unit rather than promise a price before seeing the damage.
Where do I bring the radiator?
- Bring it to Johnny's Radiator and Auto Repair at 17033 D St, Victorville, CA 92395. Call (760) 241-4253 to discuss removal and transport before your visit.
What information should I provide when calling?
- Tell us the vehicle or machine make, model, symptoms and any previous repairs. Photos, part numbers and dimensions can help with unusual or hard-to-find assemblies.
Does overheating always mean the radiator needs replacement?
- No. Coolant loss, fans, circulation and engine faults can cause overheating. A radiator test helps establish its condition, but other cooling-system diagnosis may still be needed.
Can I use stop-leak instead of a repair?
- A sealing additive does not restore worn metal or identify the fault and can restrict small passages. Discuss the leak with the shop before adding a product to the system.
