Found a spot on the driveway under radiator area. Radiator overflow under the hood was very low. Called Manchester Radiator. They checked everything, water pump, pressure test- found no issues after 3 hours of work/observation. Charged me ZERO! As in NO $$$. Man, SWEET! I'll be back for A/C trouble, radiator, water pump! Thanks Guys!

These guys are so honest and only sell what you need. Another shop quoted $4000 to run new lines for my AC system in my Lancruiser but Manchester Radiator repaired it with a teqnique that cost $240. I heard from other people that this is THE PLACE to get AC done and I wish I had sone it sooner. Over the moon about their quality and timely and professional service. Its worth the wait on their list!

There are places you refer your friends and family to, and there are places you refer your enemies to. This is a place you refer your friends and family to! Here's why: -They were able to work me into their busy schedule (way faster than I anticipated) -They communicated with me before they did anything that would cost additional money -They were upfront with what they thought it was and the next steps if they were wrong -They gave me an accurate quote -The work was done then next day! Timeline: Radiator went out Wednesday, dropped off the vehicle after house Wednesday night They diagnosed the problem Thursday It was completely repaired Friday around noon. I would highly recommend them! Very honest guys. We will for sure be going back to them for all of our radiator and A/C needs!

Bought a secondhand heater core for my Jeep Cherokee online, specifically wanted brass/copper to avoid premature failure. The one I bought had a puncture in one of the core tubes Took the core to this shop and had it fixed fast and for a great price. The core looks great now and holds pressure. The staff was friendly here as well. Definitely recommend.
