Very fast and courteous service. I took my Jeep for some AC maintenance. They called me within an hour to let me know what was wrong with it and what my options were. Highly recommended to anyone who needs AC services in the North County area.

So my car started overheating at the Shell by the Wendy's right down the road last weekend. Weird that it happened right after I got out of the car wash, but I ended up towing it down the street to Harris (which is also partnered with the shop next door, Brad's?). Lori was super friendly and told me she'd put someone on it first just so I wouldn't have to go home and come back if it wasn't as bad as she expected. Turns out nothing was wrong... probably the car wash attendant shot water under the radiator and it was steaming for several minutes while it burned off. Who knows. Well, she didn't even

I bumped into a concrete pillar which sratched up my bumper and damaged my headlight. The body shop I took my car to didn't feel comfortable replacing the headlight and recommended Harris Radiator. The guys there were very friendly and accommodating. They did a nice job. I will go back if I ever need work done to one of my cars. They are full service even though the name might imply they just do radiators and AC.

These guys are the best!! Along with Brad's Foreign Auto, no one else touches our cars. Matt and Roger and Lucas and Will take care of it all. And they are reasonable. And they DO back their work!!!

I'm new to this area and own a 2013 Subaru, which was being serviced by a private auto repair shop who's owner also owns a Subaru dealership in Calif. I took my vehicle into Harris for a oil and filter change, only to find out that the air filter was plugged solid with dirt and had never been changed, although charged, by the other shop. Harris checked out my car after pulling all of the inspection and maintenance schedules from the internet; followed up with me and is the new home for my Subaru Crosstrek! Thanks to all of their great, professional and attentive personnel.

This shop was recently sold.Don't waste your time going here. Poor quality repairs that don't last and they don't stand behind their work.
