The worst experience ever,very rude and unprofessional,Very judgmental and I am very unsatisfied with the experience I had,He ask why did I wait so long to get my ac done wish is none of his business,he could of handle the situation way better without the rude comments,very miserable experience.
Advance Radiator is one of the few honest mechanics I know. The charge fair prices and get work done in a timely manner. I highly recommend them to anyone needing work on your vehicle!
Fair work, fair price, spent the time looking for parts and keeping me up to date with progress. Disappointed that major component that was installed began to fail after warranty expired. Had to have the same costly work done a year and a half later at a separate shop that offered competitive pricing and LIFE-TIME warranty on parts. Was also informed that the work completed by this shop was sloppy and damaged an other component in the vehicle. I have yet to inform Advance about it. I think this shop does a good job for all its regular customers, and is not so gracious for any new clients. I hope I am wrong.
Very misleading! I asked for My A/c to be fixed only to get a recharge instead of a fix but charged me a bogus "repair" and now 1 week later my A/c stopped working. If I wanted a recharge I would have done it myself for more than half the price! All the money to them I guess. Horrible customer service wouldn't recommend.
Don't know about all these 5 star reviews. I explained to the mechanic about my issue with my ac slowly giving out cold air withing a spn of 2-3 weeks and he recharged it right away. He then claimed it had a leak and that he would have to put some rubber seals. 3 weeks later back to square one, took the car back and now was quoted $700 more because now the thermostat is broken. Could have told me that in the beginning but either the mechanic isn't a attention to detail type of mechanic or he's just a cash grab scum.
Highly recommend this place. If you looking at the reviews just bring your car here. These guys are awesome and has very good prices. Me Guage was going up and down, my air conditioner was cool than hot and it was really hot outside. I stay very far from here but I was near this area. Ain't no way I could have made it home. I came here in all I needed was a new thermostatbin these guys solved my problem thank u such.
This place is awesome! I brought my car in because my AC was blowing out warm hot air and a honest mechanic named Chris did the job at a very good price and you could tell it was an honest price! Thanks Chris! I'll bring my other Toyota when the refrigerant runs low again.
Have been taking our company trucks there for several years, they have always been fair with the diagnosis and pricing. Always doing just enough but not too much...they really know their stuff. I know enough to do a lot of the work I pay them for but I don't have the time so I have a pretty good idea when I'm being taken advantage of and when someone doesn't know what they are talking about (and guessing with my money). They have earned my trust and I can recommend them with confidence.
Great place. Independent shop. Does great work. And not out for all the money.
Good experience and quick turnaround time on my repairs
This place does excellent work for the right price very good customer service no complaining about work done
A/C still not working after supposedly fixing my leak. Spent $150 for nothing because now its something else and wants to charge me more.
Paid over 1200 for power steering repair that was done poorly Took back vehicle for leak, said there was nothing wrong Went back again when leak was worse, they said parts were out of warranty Went to another repair ship that did a better job for life time part warranty at a better price and they informed me the first shop damaged an engine mount Went back to the first shop and owner apologized but did not offer any restitution could because the second shop worked on the vehicle
These guys know their stuff and prices are fair. Always a good combo.
Extremely professional, caring and fair. Honest and competent.
Went in for an ac evacuation and recharge after replacing compressor, condenser and other ac parts. Evacuation and recharge went smooth, but when it was time to start the truck, compressor clutch wouldnt engage. I believe his name was Chris. He asked what else have I done to the truck. Right away he went to fuse box and I had a blown fuse for the compressor. He replaced it and clutch engaged and had cold air right away. Honest MAN. THANKS ADVANCED RADIATOR AND AIR CONDITIONING.
Fantastic Service! Radiator, Two Lower Hoses, and Thermostat replaced in just a few hours at a very reasonable price that beats all competitors prices! Thank you!
Helpful friendly staff .
I bright my Acura here for A/C service and I have been very happy with the service provided. Chris did a great job and helped to explain what work needed to get done and Tom was very helpful and courteous as well. I would highly recommend coming here for your Automotive needs.
Called a week in advance when I got there at 7:30am was told hes to busy.... wont be going back !!!!
Everyone is nice service is just way to long
Rude people when you call. If they don t know how to answer a phone why are they even open.
Great customer service Ill recommend it to all my friends and family
Excelente Job. I ve been to others they don t know what they re doing. This one right away knew what the problem was. Same day service excellent very nice.
Been going to Advance radiator since 1978. They have always been honest and fair. If the dealership cant fix it they will.
Took my suv, asked him to refill the freon. He found the condenser was missing. Instead of offering to replace it he refused to work on it. So I guess he was just to lazy, old guy must be cranky
If I could give Chris and Advance a *10* STAR RATING, I would do so. Had a problem with my A/C and called my regular mechanics, Steve & Henry of S&H Auto Repair in Downey. Henry told me yesterday that they will be going out of town and will be back Tuesday. (They are great guys too, to Hispanic brothers who grew up in the Maywood area, same as me) so they said to call Chriscat Advance. Did so, got to the shop at 6:45am and out in about 45 minutes with my A/C problem solved and at a great price.
This place was truly honest I took my C240 I was told it was going to cost more than what the car was worth . Instead of trying to sell me service i appreciate that thank you
Ran diagnostic and recharged my AC. Very fresh air now. Fair price and had me out within an hour.
Chris is a great guy give great prices fast service much better than going to car dealer A+
Fair honest repair and high quality workmanship from true professionals.
Great service. Great hospitality. Thanks.
Needed a/c serviced. In/out quickly reasonably priced. Recommended no charge follow up to double check an issue. Greatly appreciated.
This was the first mechanic to be able to figure out and fix my trucks air conditioner, so kudos for that. He also replaced the motor that rolls up one of the windows, but now a passenger sitting next to that door cannot open it from the inside. I dont often have passengers, so this was not discovered until I moved out of the area. So 50% kudo points only. Prices were in the upper range of fair.
Chris and Jose are very knowledgeable .. and will do their best to get the job done at a reasonable price
Got my radiator replaced here 10/10 would recommend. Price was fair. Fast service and friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back here next time.
Love the service.. Love the prices.. Old school service .. A true get what you pay for place
Great work
10 minutes it took to get my cars ac fixed and they were really busy when I got there. I will never go any place else.
Advance AC excellent service. Checked my AC and only needed to add freon. Price is reasonable.
Hard working honest shop Trusted my cars with them for over 10 years. Never a problem when repairs were done Highly recommend them for all your automotive needs
Chris was very helpful and honest. Cant ask for anything more from your mechanic. Serviced my AC and got me on my way.
I really dislike being misled, by smooth, likable people. I guess my own karma still has issues. Quoted a good price for a/c charge, 1/2 hour later informed of line leak and for a substantial amount would be repaired to last forever. As if I will keep my work truck forever. I decided against it because time was crucial, they wanted another 2 or more hours. So then im charged a high price for the diagnoses, almost the original quote, which is deducted from the work if done. I worry if I go back that price will somehow grow. Cest La Vie.
Chris is a great troubleshooter...very thorough
They dont give u no advice at all
