Our shop is one of the most
innovative in the Eastern region, utilizing all health and safety
precautions in an EPA friendly environment. We are NARSA Heavy Duty
Certified, which is the highest distinction of ability awarded to
those involved in the Heat Transfer Industry. Today our 18,000
square ft. facility contains 16 service bays where we do automotive
and truck repairs of all types. Although we are Cooling System
Specialists, our scope reaches out to many different levels of
mobile repair and service.
We try to make Radiator Repair Training a total hands-on experience.
Our "course" is more of an apprentice type program where our
"students" come to work directly in our shop, with close supervision
by our Shop Foreman, who has 28 years experience in the field. We
begin with the basic metallurgy concepts - what metals we use, and
how to properly clean them and prep for repair. We teach common
failure modes, and what to look for in particular applications. We
teach how to anticipate the heat transfer needs depending upon the
application. Then we teach repair techniques of all kinds of heat
exchangers. We see radiators and heat exchangers of all shapes and
sizes here. From motorcycle rads to hospital generator units, we
service them all. Our students will be a part of this service and
will be exposed to many different applications and repairs. We will
cover cleaning, soldering, light brazing and torch welding, also
aluminum brazing and epoxy repairs. We also clean and repair fuel
tanks and oil coolers of all kinds.
The training costs $200 per day per person. One week of training is
recommended for most students. All materials are provided, including
an individual test tank and work station, all cleaning materials,
brushes and tools, solder, torches. Each student will have
one-on-one instruction by our staff. At the completion of the course
each student will receive a NARSA Radiator Repair Manual and also
a Repair School Certificate indicating his completion of our course.
Each student will also leave with a toll-free help line number for
assistance after his instruction. And of course we stock and
distribute all equipment and materials used in the shop here at
Rocky Mount Radiator.
