Ideal Radiator Service

Very dissatisfied!!! I called to get a quote for a new radiator! Yes he was the least expensive for the part. I asked about the labor on my subaru and he said should be pretty easy around 140 – 160. I agreed brought my car in again asked in person how much on the labor and he would not give me a quote said he would need to look at it in more detail. I advised him to call me with the quote! Of course he did not do that and instead called me advising that my car was ready for pickup and that is was 265.41! I questioned him on why he did not call me first as I had asked and he said oh I didn’t hear you say that?! Really!!! I then asked why so much he said he put new hoses and clamps on as well I explained I did not authorize that only wanted him to do the radiator and that’s it explaining I could of had this done ourselves or by someone else foe a lot less! Oh and by the way he charged 40.00 for the coolant which is 11.99 at autozone!!! Very shady!!!

This place is awesome! My daughter’s radiator cracked yesterday and she is going crazy without her car. (19 yr old) I made a few calls and the dealer wanted $ 400! Other online places were about $ 250 and I would have to wait 6 – 8 days, they cannot ship overnight. Woke up early this morning and saw Ideal Radiator on Unilocal.I gave it a try. The guy was super nice. Gave me a quote and would have it about 2 hours. I went down to Denver. It was all ready and it was only 99.45 out the door! I was VERY excited to say the least .
If I have any more problems with radiator or even AC, I will definitely go back.
Definitely the ‘old school’ vibe.
Easy to find. Small parking lot in back. In and out! Great deal! A+++

Man, is this place OLD. SCHOOL. In a very ghetto way.
In a very ghetto good way.
After getting a $ 1015 quote from the dealer for my a/​c repair, I did a little comparison shopping and came here. When all was said and done I saved about $ 700. A/​c runs like a champ. The mechanic is a sweet, lonely man who’s a real talker. So glad I took my car here!

Found this place in the phone book when I was looking for a new radiator for my Subaru. The ad claims that its Wholesale Prices Or Less To The Public, Fast Service and 30 Years Experience. I am happy to confirm all three: o)
The dealer wanted $ 386 and after a bunch of shopping around including the internet, Ideal Radiator had the best price by far. I called on a Saturday and he said that he didn’t have one in stock and the warehouse was closed but if I call back Monday morning he would get one in for that afternoon which he did. $ 155 including tax! I put the new radiator next to my old radiator and they are identical in design, the only difference is my stock one says Made in Japan and the new one says Made in the USA. No complaints there!
I installed it myself as on Subaru’s its pretty easy so I didn’t inquire as to how much it would of been or if they even do installs? I kinda walked in, paid and left so cant really comment about that bit but I do know if you need a radiator for your car, don’t hesitate to call Ideal Radiator: o)
