Hello. when this car was serviced was a new radiator cap installed also? I own a shop in Bryan, Texas. One trick that less reputable shops use is to install a new radiator cap. It is technically a maintenance item to replace. A shop can show the customer that the radiator cap is not holding the correct pressure and thus needs to be replaced. Customer oks it. Problem with this is that on higher mileage engines and cooling system parts is that the higher internal cooling system pressure from the new cap will tend to put more stress on seals and gaskets.
