What Akron drivers say
They always do a great job on the repairs, offered at a great price, and they get the repairs done quickly… A personal thank you to the owner/manager Quenton for getting my car in when I needed the repairs done quickly.
Rick (the manager) helped me right away… He communicated the entire time and answered any questions I had. I can’t stress enough how great the service was. Rick and his crew are incredible and very nice and helpful.
Very friendly and professional.
Good service, reasonable price (use the online coupon available on their website).
Their customer service is exceptional — honest, professional, and transparent throughout… I have complete confidence in their technical expertise. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a repair shop they can trust.
Friendly people, quality work and quick service.
I’ve been to Rad Air before and was happy with the service… an oil change place couldn’t remove the bolts to get the skid plate off my vehicle. I took it to Rad Air and they didn’t charge extra for that. I’ll use them again.
As always, the guys at Rad Air have done quality, thorough work. I truly appreciate that they stand by their work too. It’s the reason I keep coming back.
Every time I’ve needed servicing, Quenton and his crew have been exceptional. I feel comfortable with what I was told I needed without worrying about being taken advantage of. Trustworthy business and crew.
Excellent customer service and car repair.
