Proceeds go to Breast Cancer Research

Proudly Participating in Brakes for Breasts

This October, we’re proud to participate in Brakes for Breasts, a nationwide campaign that brings independent auto repair shops together to support breast cancer vaccine research at Cleveland Clinic.

  • From October 1–31, 2026, customers who schedule a qualifying brake service will receive free brake pads or shoes, up to a $79.95 retail value. Customers pay for labor and any additional parts, shop supplies and taxes. Most vehicles qualify, and installation must be completed at our shop.
  • We will donate 10% of the total installation cost from each qualifying brake service to the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Fund. Since 2011, Brakes for Breasts has raised more than $2.4 million for research, and Phase 1 clinical trials are complete, with Phase 2 expected to open in 2027. Together, we can help put the brakes on breast cancer.

RadAir replaced the alternator and battery on my wife’s 2015 Cadillac. They did a great job and in a very timely manner. Dave at the front desk was very friendly and polite. I will use RadAir again for future repairs.

Took what became my new 2022 Mazda here for a pre-purchase inspection. Dave and his team went over the car and shared their thoughts with me. Car buying can be draining but having Dave and his team go over this car gave me the confidence that this was going to be a great purchase. I appreciate his time and attention to detail.
