I came to Alternate Radiator to have new AC lines built for my vehicle. I was assured by their staff that they are the best around for this type of work. It was absolutely not true. They charged me well over $700 for the creation of new AC lines. They never notified me that the lines were complete, and I had to call several days after they were supposed to be finished only to be told they would be ready for pick up later that day. Of the 6 lines that they built, 3 had leaks and had to be repaired. One was built with the incorrect fitting despite providing them with a list of exactly what I needed

Never use Alternate Radiator/Automotive!!Requested brake pads and rotor inspection, was told I needed to replace both. Work was not performed per my request. Had some other work done to satisfaction. Got vehicle back with an assortment of lug nuts, some not mine. They claimed they never removed my lugnuts. Ok then how did you inspect my brake pads and rotors. Not to mention the assortment of lug nuts were put back on with an impact gun. I literally had to remove broken lug nuts with a breaking bar and socket because the lug nuts sheared off with a normal tire iron. The owner took absolutely no

Had an aluminum radiator "repaired" at this shop (drain tube had broken off). The drain tube was welded back on pointing straight back instead of at a 90 degree angle pointing down as it should have been. And it leaked at the weld. I contacted the shop about these issues and they refused to stand behind their work. Would give them 0 stars if possible. Go anywhere else for radiator work.

So after spending thousands of dollars on my diesel truck on supposed service provided I would constantly get leaks I brought it to another shop only to be told how bad the service I had been given was. They were using sealer everywhere to try and stop the leaks it ended distorting my valve covers where I had to buy new ones and some other issues. When I brought it to their attention they did not offer to reimburse me for all of the money I had lost in their shop. They did offer to pay some of the bill at the new mechanic and a complementary service on the my next vehicle. I literally spent at

Because my daughter car is still leaking water, more then it was before we drop it off, and before she drop her car off, she had a full tank of gas, and when she went back to pick up, her car she only had not, even a half of tank of gas. When they just take the cars to the back of their shop. Where did they take her car, to use all of her gas up?

I could have given Rob and his garage a zero star if I had that option. They are terrible and very expensive. The one star I give is for sweet mouth and foolish jokes from him, his daughter and dad. My car had a problem and I took it there for him to check it, do oil change and let me know what the issue was. Instead he went ahead and did a tire rotation and charged me a whopping $206.00. He also got my tire light to come on without putting air in the tires. When I asked him about it, he refused to put air in it. This guy is horrible and bad for business. Please do not go there. I should have listen
