Be Careful! They don't replace the o-rings on drain valves in their normal course of repairing/rebuilding radiators. After getting my radiator completely rebuilt, they left the 31 year old o-ring in place and it leaked immediately after reinstalling in my truck. Very disappointed that I have to drain, service and run to the Auto parts store with plug in hand to try to find the right o-ring. They should at least let the customer know that this wear item is not included in a rebuilt radiator. I would have been fine getting my own o-ring beforehand, had I known. Big waste of time.

A very pleasant experience. Needed some coolant system repair. Was given a detailed explanation of the issues found without any up sell . Would not hesitate to return for either coolant system repair of any other service my vehicle might need.

If I could give a lower rating, I would. I brought my car here to simply get the radiator switched out, as well as my coolant hoses. It took 3 days to get it back from them, after them saying "it would likely take two days". Then upon driving it home, my car began overheating. Questionable, because my car wasnt overheating when I brought it in. It had a leak in the radiator mind you, but no overheating issues as I kept the coolant topped off. My best friend and I checked out the issue, of which we found that the radiator fan was not turning on. I called to ask if they had forgotten to reconnect it(as it is required that you unplug it to install a new radiator). They blamed the over heating on my head gasket being blown. They then continued to blame everything on me, questioning if I drove without coolant. After accepting that I could have been partly to blame, the owner began speaking to me in a degrading manner. "Young man, I have been in business for 58 years". As if my business didnt matter and that because he had been in business for that long that it gave him the right to disrespect me, or that he was so perfect that he wasnt human and was incapable of mistakes. My step-dad has been a mechanic his entire life (many generations of mechanics in his family). I was raised as a technician and honestly have been so busy with my children and other work that I trusted someone else to do my car work. I would NEVER recommend this shop to anyone I know. I hope they can figure out that everyone is worthy of respect and that they need to acknowledge their own mistakes instead of pointing blame at their customers. The funny part, is that when I brought the car back to the shop, the radiator fan is magically working again. Curious the overheating issue is gone! I will be fixing my own head gasket and will never go back to this place again. I wouldnt have tried to screw you guys over as I'm not a dirt bag, I just wanted you guys to acknowledge fault, as I did.

I had a set of brake lines made at this shop and was very impressed by their quality of work and customer service. Thank you Servicecenter Radiator & Auto! I will be using your shop again!Update 8 months later: I used their shop again for some custom brake lines. As usual, great craftsmanship and customer service. These guys are great!

We own a British car repair shop locally, and bring radiators and gas tanks to Servicenter regularly for repair; Mark, Carol and their team always provide us with excellent and timely service and repair work. Having them available to us is the difference between being able to restore original parts on classic cars versus having to source often substandard aftermarket pieces. We can't recommend this shop highly enough.

Servicenter can build hoses as well as service radiators. Talked to the owner about some hard tubing fixtures. He was able to build two tubes to my specific needs on the spot. The shop has been around for as long as I can remember. Not the cheapest outfit in town but by far the most knowledgeable and best stocked. I have never come away disappointed.

Was leaving on vacation for 3 weeks in a buddy's motorhome and the day before the AC didn't work.Called and no shop would touch it for under $500 and 2 weeks!! Called and Carol said bring it down now!!! I was there in 30 minutes!The tech started troubleshooting with me and got it fixed in 2 hrs! Only $280.00. great service! Highly recommended shop!

If I could give this business 10 STARS, I would. I took in an older car to get the air conditioning fixed. I really was not expecting good news. I was delighted after the diagnosis, they not only got the AC charged and working but also fixed the air blowing into the car. They went out of the way to present cheaper options for the repairs, if needed. The final cost was a about 25% of what I thought I would have to pay. This company has a customer for life.

My truck AC compressor grenaded and Carol was kind enough to get me in right away. Had to tow the truck there and they said I didn't need to be with it. Got me all fixed up in a day and at a good price! Great service!

Good prices. Always have (or get quickly) whatever oddball thing I ask for. Had some brake lines custom made for my Jeep there also. Very good quality and much cheaper than anticipated.

Servicecenter Radiator installed a heater core that made a loud hissing noise whenever you reached high RPMs. Being a business owner I know things dont always go perfect. The important thing is that you fix the problem and make your customer happy. Their technician Chris did exactly that troubleshooting until he found the problem. I am completely satisfied with their service and highly recommend this business.

Always great service. Repairs are done in a timely manner. I have found Mark to be very honest and straight, if it's junk he will tell you so you don't waste your money. Have used this shop more than 7 times and will continue.

I stumbled on this place and found Mark to be fantastic. You just can't find people like him that know radiators and AC systems anymore. Mark helped me with a custom drier line for my GTO and I will see him again when I need to close up the system and get it recharged. Thanks Mark!

The owner is a total jerk. I've never been treated so rudely. I'll buy a new radiator on line the next time I need one. I feel sorry for the employee that was helping me at the counter.The owner physically pushed him into the shop area. The poor guy had to be humiliated. Hope the owner sees this and confronts me off his property.

Ok so we advised to take our radiator to Servicenter Radiator in Auburn. No problems till we got it back with a new core.Got it home and someone forgot to remove the float (not sure what it was called), so called and spoke to Mark the owner, he said oooops sorry. Stated that what we had to do is to heat the float up and it would pop right out. Ok np. We did and everything was fine until we tried to put it back on the Kabota Tractor. The fan flange wouldn't screw on to the radiator. So once again I called, and got a real BITCHY female. She transferred me to the owner and I again explained the problem. He said to being in the radiator and flange and he would fix it. Oh btw we had already paid more than $400.00 for the new core.So once again back to auburn we go. Hopefully THIS TIME it's fixed correctly and we won't have to deal with them anymore.
