Universal Radiator & Automotive — Local services in San Diego

I am very happy with this place! After just arriving to the area my radiator cracked & coolant was everywhere! I am not familiar with SD but I took it to one place first and he quoted me $620 just to replace the radiator. I may not have been born in Cali but I thought this is waaaaay too much no matter where I am! So I called around and found Israel here. He replaced my radiator, cap, hose clamps, hoses, & fan clutch. Also filled it with coolant. All of this for way less than the other guy. I felt heard, comfortable, and trusted with him. He is very straightforward and seems to be very honest. If I stay in this area awhile and need more work I am definitely going back. Thank...

If it wasn't for Israel my 2005 impala wouldn't be here today. Charged me 1/2 the price to fix a head gasket than what another company quoted me. I took my car in afterwards just for check ups and he doesn't even charge me. I had to force him to accept the money. He's in it for the love of cars not the money. God bless you Israel and thanks for the referral to take my car to M&R transmission for my dodge magnum problems. You guys both are honest companies which most companies lack these days. Rare service that is 1 of a kind. Bless you guys...
