What Fairlawn drivers say
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.
We are so glad we found Dave and his crew at the Fairlawn Rad Air. They are trustworthy, reliable, fair and have given us exemplary service time and again. We are seniors who gratefully depend on them to keep our Kia running for the long run. Thanks, guys!
Very trustworthy people. They go the extra mile when I need it. I am a return customer and extremely satisfied.
Dead battery. They took care of it very quickly. Very professional.
Got us in within the day. Very kind. Always do amazing work. Cost was great as well. Thankful. 3rd car we have brought to them.
Great service and excellent customer experience.
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.
Great to work with. Always repair my cars right. We’ve been working with Dave the owner for many years.
They fixed my driver’s door actuator at half the cost of the dealership. Fast and friendly service plus a loaner car! Great service, will not hesitate to recommend. Thanks.
Excellent work!! Customer service was outstanding!! Affordable service!! I will return!!
Attentive, thorough, trustworthy and very reasonable pricing. Thanks to Dave and his dependable staff for their continued great care of my car’s needs. Wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else!
