Excellent service and attention to detail! These guys and gals has to basically fabricate a radiator for my rv generator. They knocked it out is the park fit about a third of what Onan wanted for a new radiator.

I definitely recommend this shop for any cooling system problem on your vehicle - honest, quick, and they know what they are doing! The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable.

I took a radiator in for a piece of equipment that had a leak. I showed up at 4:30 pm. When they found out I live an hour away they were willing to stay late and fix it while I waited without me asking them to. I told them not necessary I would pick up the next afternoon. When I showed up at 4:30 it was ready to go. I found a coupon on their website for 10% off, which was an unexpected bonus. The price for the work they performed was reasonable. The customer service was above and beyond. I appreciate their willingness to stay late and help me out. I'm glad to support a local business.

Great customer service. Fair prices for a job well done. I took my old car in for a radiator flush and it needed a new thermostat, of course there isn't one available for my old beast of a car and they had to order it. They got it next day and had it in my car and radiator flushed in no time at all. Would definitely recommend them for your radiator needs. Thanks guys.

Great customer service. Very professional technicians, and managers at A1 Radiator Repair. My estimated cost for labor and parts for a new radiator was $300 out the door. My heater works well, my car and wallet is happy. Highly recommend these professionals to any car owners with special needs.

Scott was extremely helpful and spent much time sending information via emails. His price beat the local radiator shops in the Gillette, WY area even with shipping costs. I saved a lot. The workmanship was excellent and they even added a new radiator cap and drain plug free. I would recommend Scott and A-1 Radiator to anyone that needs a radiator recored. Thanks Scott for great service and a great product!

Quick service, helped me with a custom radiator, welded aluminum brackets on a new radiator I got from Summit, so now I have a built to fit my needs. I'll be back next I need radiator work done.

Don't replace your radiator before letting these guys have a look. Scott saved me hundreds in contrast to what the mechanic shops solution was. Fast, Responsive, and helpful. got my radiator back looking new, fixed and flushed clean for 1/5th the cost of a new radiator. these guys are pros. Take it to Scott if you have an issue.

This organization is actively making our community better! I am a fleet manager of a non profit organization, The Other Side Academy. The level of commitment this organization has for its community and customers is amazing. I continually work in this industry here in salt lake and A-1 is an absolute gem to work with. They have proved to go above and beyond in every way. and I have personally recommend them to family and anyone who is in need of any radiator needs. I would give them 100 stars but only had the option for 5.

I cannot say enough good things about Scott and the A-1 team. This is the standard of care that all shops should strive for. Certainly have earned my praise and loyalty for all projects in the future. Thanks A-1!

Chris knows his stuff. In and out quick. Very happy with the service.

Great service, knowledgeable staff, quick timely repairs and fair pricing!

I had a leaky radiator on my truck back in 2005. I drove 120 miles to A-1 and dropped it off, went home and then picked up the radiator a week later (paid for with a check). After installing the radiator, I found that it had fluid leaking from everywhere. I drove 120 miles again to A-1 where I spoke to the manager. He said it was not properly repaired and not checked before leaving the shop. A week later, another trip to Elko to pick up the repaired radiator. This time, it was fixed and the manager handed me my check back and said something that I will never forget: "We can get checks anywhere. Customer are more important."
I've only had to get a radiator repaired once since this experience and you bet that A-1 was the place I went! The same manager still works there and does an awesome job!

Great customer service, knowledgeable staff, quick work, and a quality job. They fixed my radiator a couple of years ago and it was a pleasant experience. Today, they replaced a ton of parts/fluids and my car is running better than ever. I highly recommend them for anything radiator or heating/cooling systems.

My son and I changed the radiator early this morning and took it for a test drive to check for leaks. After coming out of a Home Depot, we noticed antifreeze dribbling out from the bottom. After a few swear words, we decided to drive it over to the professionals and let them take a quick look. They promptly asked us to put the car in the shop, out of the sun. They kinda knew what the issue was when I told them that we tightened the 2 cooler lines nuts on the radiator that weren't being used. After 20 minutes they said it was 1 of the 2 smaller house at the top that had a small, pin hole leak. They cut of a small piece of the hose and reattached it. We drove it back to Vegas the next morning with no overheating issues and no leaking! Thanks guys! Greatly appreciated it!!

These guys were able to fix my expensive aluminum racing radiator. Rather than buying a brand new one, check to see if you can get it fixed first. I am sure they can help you. Thanks guys. saved me $400 bucks.

A couple days ago I decided that my radiator needed a couple extra holes poked in it. Not my greatest decision. My car is old and apparently new radiators for it no longer exist. After searching online and finding my only options for replacement are custom and range in price from $300 to $600 I was feeling pretty bummed. My roommate recommended I take it to A-1 radiator to see if they could fix it. He told me he had taken a radiator in worse shape to them and they fixed it and had it done the same day. Fast forward to today. I dropped off my radiator, with the extra holes I decided it needed, to them on my lunch break around noon. Not only did they have it fixed in a couple hours but they also gave it a fresh coat of paint. I was quite pleased. When I got home and went about reinstalling it I noticed something that may seem small but made me happier than how fast and inexpensive the service they gave made me. While reinstalling the fans a few months back, after replacing the timing belts, I overtightened one of the bolts and sheared it off in the bolt hole on the radiator. I never bothered to extract the broken bolt but when I was putting the fans back on this time I found the sheared bolt no longer there. They had removed it for me. I didnt even ask them to do so. I am very pleased with their service, price, attention to detail and the willingness to go above and beyond my expectations no matter how minor it may seem. I work at an oil change shop and am always on the lookout for awesome shops to refer my customers to when they ask if I know anywhere to take their vehicles for services we cant provide. I now know where I will be sending them. Thank you to all who helped me at A-1 Radiator.

Best repair shop I've ever seen. Clean and organized. Staff very helpful and speedy.
