Came in woth a fuel line leak that was really bad. Expected it to take 2 days to fix, which I was fine with. They... heard I was on vacation and was able to fix it that day for a fair price. Even explained the reason the line leaked and made sure it wouldn't happen again. Super nice, super professional, and super fairread more

Rad Air came highly recommended, and I am so pleased to experience why.I truly appreciated the turn-around time, full... explanation of services rendered, and suggestion of other services necessary for my car’s health.Understandably, the use of a loaner car was an enormous convenience and I was fortunate that Rob secured/reserved the one he had available.I cannot sing enough praises concerning Rad Air, but I will be certain to not only trust my vehicle to them for further necessary repairs, but also to recommend them to my family and friends!read more

Took my ford here for some brake, exhaust, and caliper work and Rob was an outstanding individual. He goes above and... beyond the customers needs and is always in a good mood. The repairs were done in a timely manner and done well. Very good group of people.read more

Very pleased with the service I received. Not only did these guys work with my warranty on a used car but they actually... gave me far more information and performed a more thorough diagnostic than the mechanic at Cascade Subaru. I will be returning for future maintenance.read more

The customer service was great at both offering unsolicited information and answering all our questions. We needed an... entire transmission rebuild and they finished several days ahead of the quoted time frame. We were given a loaner vehicle which was an absolute necessity. Everything went exceptionally well. Would definitely recommend!read more

I took my BMW 330 Xi there because it was leaking radiator fluid. They said it needed a coolant reservoir. They wanted... $600 to fix the coolant reservoir. I normally take my car to Autobahn for repairs. This price seemed excessive to me. I checked with Autobahn it was $385. Autobahn is a certified German repair shop that works on nothing but German cars. They were trying to charge me for pressurizing flushing the system etc. which was not necessary.They have completely lost my business. I did have my Lexus service there and was happy the first time but this experience completely soured me on the shop and I would not recommend it to anyoneread more

$2150!!! It should never cost that much to have brakes, sway bar links and tie rods replaced. Any decent mechanic would... have never taxed like that. Better off going to a shop that does not price gauge. Someone should have noticed and a deal should have been made but they wanted arms and legs and they are out for bloodread more

I dropped my car off after work and they had it ready the next day. Free loaner car in the meantime. Quenton did a... great job communicating what it needed and why, as well as explaining what was done when he let me know it was ready. Can't recommend them enough!read more

Not the cheapest repair shop but possibly the best. Have done a lot of work on my vehicles and done a great job every... time. A repair shop that I trust to do the job right and not lie to me about what needs fixed just to make extra money.read more

Rad air is quick and knowledgeable; they're always very thorough. I was happy to see the plexiglass and only allowing 2... customers in the showroom at a time. Quinton has been helpful and they will even offer to ride along and listen to any noises. They replaced my fluids (transmission, oil, brake, and washer) and recently redid my tie rods and front end issues. They offer rides and a vehicle if you need it in the meantime. I always take my car here for oil changes and will continue!! They also asked me if I wanted to keep my 10 yr old car or if I was planning on getting a new car - because this helps them determine how much money I still wanted to put into it. The repairs are still cheaper than a new vehicle so I appreciate them helping me maintain my 10 yr old car !read more

Excellent, professional, and friendly service! A dealership quoted me over $1300 to replace the A/C compressor after a... $150 diagnostic. RadAir diagnosed the real problem and fixed it for under $400. So happy I went to RadAir! 🙂read more

EDIT: My third time visiting Rad Air was an overall bad experience. They kept my vehicle for four days and said I... wouldn’t get it back until i pay for the repairs in full, even though I told him to hold off on repairs (he claimed he had his guys get right on it anyway).The next week the adjuster inspected the vehicle and told me that NO repairs had been done on the vehicle!!I called back and told him that my adjuster was on the phone. He then confirmed that no repairs had been completed. My question is why keep my vehicle under false pretenses???Initially I was going to go through with the repairs even though the price was high, but after that debacle I opted against it. Yes, there are less expensive places, but my main concern is trust... which was lost.read more

Rad Air got me in next day for new brakes and finished them same day. My brakes are better than the day I bought the... car, and I've had it to three other shops and two dealerships in the three years I've owned it! Will definitely return next time I need work. Robby was extremely kind and thorough as well.read more

While the work that was done on my vehicle was fine, the professionalism in this place is definitely lacking. Given the... current situation, not a single employee was observing the mask mandate which really frustrated me. I also noticed several employees smoking while on the job. I’ll definitely look elsewhere next time I need a repair.read more

Just wanted to say thanks to Rad Air and Robby for helping me with my car. Even though they were super busy they got me... in and helped me get back on the road super quick. I was only planning on a simple service, but the team diagnosed a potentially big problem and fixed it for me. My car hasn’t run this well in years! Thanks again!read more

Absolutely wonderful experience very professional. Fixed my A/C issue for a fraction of the cost of other shops and... there work came with a warranty. They also kept the inside of my vehicle clean with no greasy hand and foot prints . Highly recommend checking them out and I can guarantee you will go back for other services. This is not a low budget shop but you get what you pay for . I am more than pleased with Rad Air and their employees. Great job guys !!!read more

I was very pleased with the service and professionalism! I was given a loaner while they looked at my car so that I was... not stuck without transportation. I went in just to have my AC compressor fixed, but I will be going back for the additional work that we need done. Rick was very friendly and helpful and even brought the car to my home! I highly recommend Rad Air and this team!Doreneread more

This was my first time using Rad Air services. Even though they weren't able to use my car warranty, Rick helped me... with other affordable options. Rick knew I needed my car ASAP and was able to order new parts and had the car repaired and ready the next day. The whole process was affordable and stress free. I highly recommend this location. Rick and his staff are #1.read more

I appreciated them towing my car from my residence to their place in such a quick time. They were very punctual on... getting back to me and letting me know what was wrong and how much it was going to be for my repairs. They were nice, understanding, and professional. Very overpriced though.read more
