Downtown Cleveland belts and hoses
Belts and hoses are inexpensive parts that cause big problems when they fail. A snapped serpentine belt can kill your power steering and charging in an instant, a failed timing belt can wreck an engine, and a burst coolant hose leaves you overheating on the side of the road. A squeal on startup, visible cracks, or a coolant smell are all warning signs. Our shop in the bottom of the Hamilton Garage at Hamilton and East 12th catches these before they leave you stranded.
Our ASE-certified team inspects your belts and hoses, shows you any cracking, glazing or wear, and replaces them before they fail. It is far cheaper to replace a worn belt or hose on your schedule than to be towed after it breaks. We back qualifying new parts with our Fixed for Life warranty, and since hoses tie into your cooling system, we check the whole system while we are in there.

Rad Air downtown did a great job fixing the heat shield on my car as well as the serpentine belt. As a resident in Ohio City, it is so nice to have a car repair shop that is three minutes away. Paul and the entire staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I will be taking my car here from now on for all service calls. Thanks to Paul and his staff!
Paul is absolutely amazing. Very responsive to any concerns and great about setting timely appointments. He explains repairs clearly, especially for someone like me who doesn't know a lot about cars, and he is honest about critical repair needs versus repairs that can wait.
Paul really prioritizes getting you back on the road safely. No fluff. If it needs to be done he'll tell you.
I brought my car here after being told I needed to change a bunch of things, and Paul and his team were so excellent and honest. They were always candid about the things that I really needed to do and what could wait. My car has been taken care of so well.
Fast service and transparent pricing. Definitely going to be heading back there next time my car needs work!
Paul and team were amazing! Excellent customer service and professional work. I highly recommend them!
Reliable, friendly and honest! I tried other shops in the area before coming to Rad Air and I wish I had just started here first. I will keep coming back!
Paul and his team are excellent to work with. They were clear with what they found, providing an estimate and completing the work quickly. Great job!
They always get work done in a timely manner. Prices are reasonable as well. The manager is very helpful and makes the entire process very easy. Highly recommend coming here!
From the time I dropped my car off I felt I was in good hands. When it was explained what was needed and why, I was confident in what I was told. I have no complaints and will return if another concern arises.
Paul and his team have always been professional, prompt and transparent. The location and convenience cannot be beat, and they have always treated me right, never pushing for unnecessary add-ons or repairs like some shops do.
These guys have integrity. They let you know exactly what you need and don't try to upcharge unnecessarily. Would highly recommend.
