A-1 Radiator

This is the second time that I’ve used A-​1 Radiator. They are very honest, up front, so very friendly, and they don’t rip you off. Their prices are so very reasonable, thank you A-​1 Radiator. I will definitely refer everyone to A-​1 Radiator. You guys ROCK!

I was travelling from CA to AZ and at 3am on the border of Ontario our Astrovan was in a super bad way! We got a tow and chose to set up camp outside A-​1 Radiator based on the Unilocal reviews they already had. What an awesome family! They took great care of us and genuinely did all they could to help us out. Much of the vans problems (head gasket etc.) we didn’t even get into just because it wasn’t worth it, but they worked tirelessly all day to sort what problems they could with radiator replacement, thermostat and the likes and had us back on the road and saw us safely home. Going to take another van there when I pass through on my way back for the AC! Very grateful to these guys. Definitely highly recommend them. Just get there early — as they have a steady stream of customers throughout the day.

I have a 2003 Chevy Cavalier, this thing hasn’t had AC since 2010. Brought the car from Texas, I’ve heard great stories about this place and since it’s right down the street from my house I thought, why not. I’m glad I didn’t go any where else. Car was fixed right the first time, no issues, all parts replaced. I couldn’t be any happier. This is the first time I have ever posted a Unilocal review but they definitely deserve a 5 star + rating.

first off the full name of the actual business is A-​1 Radiator & Air Conditioning. My Son was in need of a repair shop to diagnos some A/​C issues on a 1991 Toyota Camry. I called Al at The Auto Shop for a recommendation because I’ve been doing business with him for about 18 years he is very trustworthy and I know there are a lot of horror stories when it comes to automotive repair. Al recommended A-​1 Radiator & Air conditioning to me and gave me a phone number. My Son made two phone calls to the business to discuss the situation and potential repair costs. He did not want to spend more than the car was worth to fix the A/​C. We agreed I would bring the car down on Friday morning of 4÷12÷2013. My Son has crazy work hours and I was nice enough to help him. Actually he and I were both trying to help his girlfriend who lives in banning cause we did not want to see her without A/​C in Banning in July. There was some communication error between my son and I about the location so as I was enroute I had to call again to confirm address and location especially since there are some other automotive repair businesses in the area with similar names. When I arrived I was greeted by a lady and when I told her about the car she remembered talking to my son. She recalled his concerns about cost and told me she would call me as soon as the had an idea what the issue was and what repair costs would be. She also confirmed with me the estimate she gave my son to troubleshoot the problem. Remember we are talking about A/​C in a 91 toyota camry. Within 2 hours I received a call. Bad news/​good news. Because of the age of the car the part needed was only available thru a dealer and they wouldn’t have it until Monday. Right away I seen dollar signs cause I’m thinking part for a 22 year old car via the dealer can’t be good right. Wrong, that was the good news the cost of repair was actually going to be cheaper than the original estimate. We agreed to leave the car at the shop over the weekend for convenience and since I felt confident the location had sufficient security. For security reasons I will not discuss the shops security system. They called me on Monday when the car was done as they said they would. I arrived to pick up the car. I was given appropriate description of the repair that was made. I was given a receipt. Most importantly the A/​C worked GREAT. I recall when I found the business on Unilocal I was a bit suprised that they did not have a review yet, especially for as long as they were in business according to my source Al at «The Auto Shop». I have to admit I was even a little excited that I may get to be the first to review it. Fast forward about three weeks to tonight when I finally have some free time to catch up on some reviews I’ve been waiting to write. I log on and see the review from Brenda P. All I can tell you is that my experience could not have been more positive. This business was recommended to me by Al at The Auto Shop. Ive been doing business with him for about 18 years, I trust him. His shop was voted best auto repair shop by Daily bulletin readers. Based on the feeling my son got after two phone calls with the staff he wanted to take the car there. The fixed our A/​C and the price was less than the estimate. all of our communications with the staff here was positive. I would use A-​1 Radiator & Air Conditioning at 208 S San Antonio Ave in Ontario again. I recommend them without hesitation.
