Absolutely phenomenal service. I walked in off the street with an oddball British car radiator from the late 50s on a Friday morning, and they had it completely refreshed and shined up by Tuesday morning. THIS INCLUDES HAVING TO ORDER THE PARTS! So, they functionally got this strange little radiator completed in ONE day! He had never seen one like it before, but he made it look and work better than new! New, upgraded core with twice the capacity and more rows, tanks totally repaired and sealed, and the rotten hose taps repaired like new! If I didn't know how rare this radiator was, I'd swear he switched me completely out for a new one. It's that good. I've had several radiators and heater cores rebuilt over the years, and dealt with countless shops. This place is far and away better than any shop I've dealt with in terms of genuine, fantastic service and real concern for the total satisfaction of the customer. He even asked us if we thought we were paying too much! The quality of work performed and the rarity of the oddball little radiator made me expect nearly to pay twice what we actually paid, and he was still concerned about charging us what he thought was a reasonable price. Incredible. We WILL be back for more services. This place repairs gas tanks, does welding, brakes, all sorts of useful stuff at great prices. Please help keep businesses like this running. This place is an asset to the Modesto classic car scene! We need them around!

EDIT: I returned in the little car he built the Radiator for and had him weld a new mount on the passenger side for my sway bar, as it had broken off 50 some odd years ago. He made a custom plate, welded it on beautifully AND went ahead and installed the bushing kit I had in a box in the back seat in just a few hours! Mind you, he put all the bushings in (that I had purchased elsewhere) FOR FREE, as we only talked about just welding the plate on. He wanted to be sure it all worked and looked right! He also noticed one of the spring mounts for the bonnet (hood for you non-british car owners) was broken, and went ahead and fixed that, too, just because. Fantastic "above and beyond" service from this place.

Mike did a great job stopping my 1965 Ranchero from over-heating, even though it was a rush job to get it ready for the Graffiti cruise. He had to do a welding job on the fan shroud and did an awesome job painting everything at the end. And the install he did of an electric fan was very clean looking.

Mike is the man, and they do more than just radiators. He really knows the old classic cars!

SHOP HERE> NEED RADIATOR WORK FORGET THE REST MIKE IS THE BEST . Mike has over 30 years of raditor work at his shop. Fair, Quality work at A very reasonable price. My radiiator was a 2 core from the factory (74 GMC) and he could not get one so he got the 3 core heavy duty one ($180.00 more) but still only charged me what he had quoted me for a 2 core..

Mike and his team went way beyond to ensure that my car was repaired and running well. They are very thorough and honest. Highly recommend taking your car to their business for repairs.

This little hole in the wall place is Husband and wife owned. They work hard to make there customers happy. I have had 2 things done there. 1) Repair a leaking radiator. 2) Turn some brake rotors. both times I have had Great service. Im sure they do much more they Radiator service. And I highly recommend this place. I will be useing them a lot more now that I know that the pricing is very fair and the quality of there work is 10 out of 10. I'm giving them 5 stars because there customer service both times was so good. Both of them were so nice and helpful. As a 37 year Auto/Diesel & Motorcycle Master Tech. I look for honest people and they are the real deal. Im looking forward to have more work done from them.
