I must say that Luis is great mechanic , I had a problem with my Chrysler Town and country , it kept overheating when I drove it, I made the problem worse by putting sealant in the radiator, Luis said leave it with me I will find the problem , which he did and he fixed it in a timely fashion , now the van is running better than when I first bought it , thanks A1, thank you Luis.

I lost a lot of faith in the big name autoshop/mechanic businesses here in NY. I received a quote that was ridiculous before heading over to A1 Radiator. Luis is a great mechanic and took the time for me to explain what little work I did to fix up the radiator myself. He then did a deep inspection and realized one of my replacement parts (from amazon) wasn't working properly and also went to pickup more equipment for me because a delivery would take too long. I felt valued and even better, my car is improved after taking it to A1 Radiator.

i sold this company parts and based on good faith sent them the parts before they paid because they needed them. than when it came time to pay us they wouldnt answer our calls and when they finally did they fought us on paying, getting rude and nasty saying they dont deserve to pay shipping. everytime i spoke with them they were very rude. these are ungrateful people who dont want to do the right thing, i would take my business elsewhere. very unprofessional company with no morals

After experiencing odd leaking for a few weeks from my car's radiator, I brought my car here. It had been worked on by a couple of different mechanics the previous two months, and I was not sure why the radiator was leaking, or how it came to leak since it had no problems before other work was performed. The last mechanic I used (a dealership) recommend a new radiator (about $6-700 installed), but I had a feeling that something ELSE was afoot. So - I brought it to Mark, and he figured out that the top hose was old and no longer pliable at the end, and since it had been taken off and put back on, that the rubber seal was no longer watertight. I cut the hose back about an inch, installed a new $1.50 clamp, and: PROBLEM SOLVED! A buck fifty - not seven hundred dollars. Thanks Mark!

A1 to the rescue. Noticed that my '72 BMW developed a pretty good fuel leak. On inspection I discovered that an old patch had given out. A new tank was going to cost me over $600 and would probably arrive just as the FDNY was putting out the fire. I did a quick search thinking radiator repair - fuel tank repair. Called A1. Mark told me to come right down the next morning at 0830. He took a look at the tank (still in the car) and said he could have it fixed by the end of the day. They emptied and pulled the tank, cleaned it, welded the seams, patched the leak, pressure tested it, undercoated it, and had it back in the car by 2:30pm that afternoon! Amazing. Everyone there is great, friendly, and most of all, they know what the hell they are doing (and they treated my '72 with kid gloves). I'll be keeping Mark's card in my glove compartment for when my radiator goes. Thanks Mark and all the guys at A1. Memorial Day 2014 saved!
