They deserve *****10 STARS*****.
As a woman dealing with mechanics is VERY stressful.
Here's my story:
I took my car to Jiffy Lube for a radiator flush and an oil change.
The very next day the smell of antifreeze was overwhelming.
I took the car back to Jiffy Lube and told them about the smell.
I also showed them that the antifreeze had turned a murky color.
They told me not to worry, that everything was fine with my car.
I knew something was wrong.
The smell of antifreeze would not go away.
So I decided to take my car to a mechanic who specializes in radiators.
I arrived at Cap-A Radiator and did not tell Bill Carberry, the owner, about the previous work I had just done at Jiffy Lube.
They checked my radiator and found that it was VERY dirty.
They did a reverse flush and refilled it with new antifreeze.
Checked the thermostat and cooling fan.
And they also checked the belts and radiator cap.
The BEST thing they found was that the oil filter was loose and was dripping oil onto the exhaust. (Remember that oil change I just had done at Jiffy Lube!!!)
BILL CARBERRY is the BEST!
He took care of my car's problem and fixed what could have cost me my engine.
He personally takes care of all the customers at his shop.
Check out his website for more info.
He loves what he does and it shows.
I can't recommend him enough!

These guys are great. They take care and pride in what they do and it shows. They don't try and upsell you on something you don't need. Great attention to detail. They tend to work mostly on customs and rods and they were a great find to work on mine. Trustworthy and honest: hard to find in auto repair.

They had what I needed

I can't believe all the items they carry and in so many models. Prices are very easy on your wallet and they cannot help you enough. so, if you need car parts this is the place to go.

Conservative redneck with violent posters in his store depicting killing muslims. I'm not muslim, but it's disturbing. Destroyed my AC compressor (probably intentionally) to get me to pay for it.

They have done work on several of my and friends cars. They never do unnecessary repairs. THEY ALWAYS get the job done at a fair price. Quality is always less costly in the long run. You get what you pay for. They don't use cheapo materials or parts. They stand behind their work. Nothing is 100%, I had to bring back my 66 Ford after they upgraded it to disc brakes, I didn't like the way it braked & they agreed it should of been better. Not their fault they used the parts that were recommended, the manufacturer exchanged the boosters. They did the swap at no charge. I will always recommend this shop.

This place is great! I have a 1983 honda magna 750. The gas tank was rusted on the inside. Not only did they clean it out but they coated it with liner as well. And all for a readonable price. Def recommend this place to everyone.

I have three collector or classic cars. Bill and his crew have worked on all three. I found the shop to be very honest and reliable. These cars are not the easiest to find parts for and Bill went out of his way to search for some very obscure pieces. When a part just didn't exist, Bill would discuss alternate solutions with you.

didn't finish the job they put the aluminum radiator in mean while when the guy took out my coolant censor and then he said it broke and he didn't put a new one in and now I have my coolant censor on now and every time I start my car I here a beep beep beep beep... and then he said that will be another 15 to 20$ for a new coolant censor and they he said he scrap my brass radiator which he got money for my radiator and then the bill was 464$ and then if my car was overheating I would not even know and he didn't even have a coolant censor to put in in the first place I would not even give a 1 star.
