Needed a radiator fixed for a major cell tower generator. Dropped it off late morning on Wednesday and it was ready first thing Thursday morning. They kept me updated through the steps as we were not sure radiator was repairable. Radiator was repaired and installed and working great highly recommend this shop.

Not too many of these places left around. There was a day when there was many. The price to repair the radiator was great. The price to take out the radiator and put it back in is what kept me from doing it. So if you're going to use this place bring them the radiator removed and put it back in yourself if you have the knowledge and save a bunch of money. See Chris he'll take care of you and get it done the same day.

Toyota NW referred this place. Overall, it's been 8 months since the owner fixed my radiator and my car is still doing fine. Radiator does have a 1 yr warranty. Thank you!I advise setting up an appointment. Sometimes they lack staff and won't be able to finish the job on time. Update 2023: Radiator still good. (Knock on wood)lol

I brought my 33 ford radiator to them at 11 am and had it repaired and ready to pick up by 3:30. I am out of town and didn't have to drive back down the hill.. Great experience. Nice people. I would highly recommend them. Thanks

Randy - Easy to deal with - VERY straight forward no BS kind of place to get work done.I've used them a few times and several people I work with have only had good things to say about Discount.Very fair on pricing and extremely thorough.Had my 2003 Ford Explorer worked on - he could have hit me up for all kinds of stuff but was honest and fair.

I was towing my 5th over the grapevine when my radiator tank cracked, I called Randy at discount radiator and he made my repair a priority. He was honest, respectful and real. I highly recommend this shop , I was able to continue my trip in couple of hours. High quality work at a very fair price. I was from out of town, broke down and received service like a friend and now I have a new one.

Randy and his crew are awesome! We stopped for help when our camper van was nearly overheating while passing through Bakersfield on a road trip. They fit us in somehow and repaired our clogged radiator and got us back on the road in record time. So knowledgeable and the best customer service experience ever! Thank you thank you Randy, from Glen and Leah, Santa Cruz.

We spung a leak in truck radiator heading to Mexico from Canada. I thought about changing the rad in the parts store parking lot. Decided to get a quote. Parts guy recommended Randy and Randy . They thoroughly checked the Truck before giving me a quote. Checked everything I did and came up with same conclusion. No bait and switch. Honest people who know what needs to be done. Got us back on the road quick.

9/30/2020 I just dropped of a radiator to get inspected and the staff was professional and knowledgeable. It was a good experience, I don't know anything about radiators and the gentleman who helped me took his time to help me understand. I'll definitely be a returning customer these old school mama and papa honest shops are fading away.

Had a radiator problem with my 80 CJ-7. Bottom hose connector had broken off. I brought it in, thinking I was going to need to buy a new radiator. The owner assured me the radiator I had was in great shape. They brazed on a new hose connector, steamed it, and painted it and had it back to me about 4 hours! And the owner was great to deal with also. I won t take my radiator problems anywhere else.

Horrible service, with rip-off: Arrived on a Friday afternoon with radiator leak. Owner had gone fishing. Elderly technician said that my thermostat cover also showed signs of leaking.A young lady gave me a quote for radiator repair & replace thermostat cover, which she said came as a kit.She called supplier to make sure they had parts; telling them: I am not ordering the part, I am just letting you know that I may want them. I agreed to the price, & scheduled appointment for Monday 8am.When I arrived, she wasn t in yet, & neither were the parts. Had to return on Tuesday.At the end of the day, when job was done, was presented with bill.Owner explained that the supplier had sent wrong thermostat cover, However, they decided the old one was good enough & reinstalled it. They also charged me $100 for a new thermostat that I didn t want or need. A rip-off!

Randy is a Rockstar!! He fixed the radiator of our RV in no time. He is not the guy taking advantage of you. Even if the solution seems easy just trust him. Now we are parked in front of an awesome beach in Mexico. Thank you Randy!!

I've taken my radiator here a number of times... and every time, I'm back within 6 - 12 months for more repairs.This time the radiator he put about 6 mos. ago in was overheating plus the fan wasn't working. To top it all off, the radiator literally blew up - a hole in the side, and not even on a seam.While his prices seemed reasonable and he did work with me on that, what's the point if I have to go back once or twice a year?Caveat emptor.
