My Hyundai Santa Fe AC refrigerant went out after recharging every two months. I went to two other local shops and they could not find the leak. Thank you guys to find the leak so quickly! Great job!
I had been going to the dealership service center for 11 years and most recently went for broken AC. They quoted me $1550 which seemed a bit high so I was recommended by neighbors to check out Howard Ave Radiator for a second opinion. Bill and his son are wonderful and were able to provide a diagnostic and repair in just a few hours and all for $250! Couldn’t have had a better experience. Highly recommend!!
I called this shop looking for a place that could service an older car’s AC system, and they didn’t disappoint! Bill answered the phone and let me know they’d be able to take a look and see if I had any issues. I dropped my car off the following day and they had it for only a few hours - they were able to completely test my system for leaks and recharge it, it had already been converted to a newer refrigerant by the previous owner (which I had no idea of). Bill was able to tell just by looking at the system that it had been converted! The work that was done was quick, high quality, and very well priced. My AC is blowing nice and cold, and the compressor doesn’t shut off randomly anymore. Thank you so much!
This is what car shop experience should be like - High quality work, respectful and friendly attitude, fair and reasonable pricing. The only shop I could find to evacuate the old R12 refrigerant from my 1991 vehicle turned out a treasure hidden somewhere in San Carlos, CA :) Hope they stay in business forever. Thank you William!
Calvin and his business have renewed my faith in quality, honest, and professional auto shops. I took our ageing van there for an oil change and to look into fixing the air conditioning. Overnight Calvin had changed the oil and done a thorough investigation of the AC system. Long story short, enough of the system was in critical shape that a full repair would likely cost more than the worth of the vehicle. I'm extremely appreciative of the honest diagnosis and highly recommend Howard Ave Radiator.
