Since 1975, City Wide Radiator has continued to provide Alberta with automotive services and products. We think they have proven their expertise in the industry with 47 years of experience.

If you prefer to fix your car on your own, they have a wide variety of products available on-site. But, if you choose to have a professional do it, you can fill up the online form with photos of the problem areas.

They carry new radiators and custom ones for different types of vehicles. What’s great about this is you can find the products you need whether you have a classic or a newer car.

Additionally, they do repairs and restorations too. We think this is a good option if your radiator only has minor damage.

As far as warranty goes, they offer two years for radiator installation on automotive and light trucks. Meanwhile, industrial radiators have a one-year warranty.

We appreciate their monthly meetings on safety to ensure all employees understand the training modules for a safe working environment. In addition, we like that they have multiple radiator technicians available during busier times.

However, we think it’s best to include a price guide for their products and services. 

We understand that it may be difficult to list all their products. Still, we think it’s best to include prices for new radiators to prevent misunderstandings.

Another downside is we heard a few instances where the client’s car had minor damages after a service. So we think it’s best to take photos of your vehicle as proof so the City Wide Radiator team can rectify the problem.

On a positive note, they offer free pick-up and delivery on all radiators if you’re in Calgary. They also provide a free inspection on automotive and light industrial radiators, even if you decide not to continue the service.

Established in 2006, Wrenches Automotive has provided Calgarians with different auto repair services. They accept all makes and models of domestic and imported vehicles.

We appreciate they have certified repair technicians with decades of experience in the industry. You can request a simple oil change to an engine overhaul.

You can schedule a drop-off and repair at their shop if you have a busy schedule. Then, once your vehicle is ready for pick-up, they will contact you so you can avoid waiting for long hours.

But you should know that there is a minimum notice of 24 hours. You will give two options for your preferred date and time, and then the staff will contact you with the confirmed appointment.

Still, we hope they can update the scheduling system to block unavailable times. For example, since they aren’t open on weekends, clients with a tight schedule may be available only during certain times.

We like their preventative maintenance, so your vehicle will run smoothly during Calgary’s changing weather. Their heating and cooling services include radiator flushing to keep your engine in good working condition. 

Another thing we like is the thoroughness when checking the engine. Wrenches Automotive will ensure that their expert technicians check if the radiator cools the engine effectively so the vehicle runs smoothly.

It’s worth noting that aside from the manufacturer’s warranty for the parts, we’re glad they have a 90-day labour guarantee. This is highly convenient to ease your mind about any issues.

We just hope they can include estimated costs for their services. We think having these readily available will help clients regarding their budget.

Furthermore, their team is friendly and accommodating. The clients we surveyed mentioned their staff was great at communicating regarding appointments and inquiries.

JRS Automotive Repair is an auto repair shop passionate about wanting to dispel the negative rumours about the auto repair industry. 

Its owner and operator, Jorge Silva, can practise in all Canadian provinces because he is Red Seal Certified. This means he successfully passed the examination and exhibited proper trade knowledge.

Being an auto repair shop, they provide all repair services for your vehicle. That includes electronics, electricals, transmission, and heating and cooling.

We like that they will do a complete evaluation for their repair services. As for the heating and cooling system, they will check the radiator to ensure it is working effectively. 

If you hire their services for your car’s maintenance, they will check your radiator to see if it’s working correctly. Parts of this will be radiator flushing to keep it from heating excessively.

To add, they sell most major brands of tires. Still, we would like to see the price list and warranty details for the client’s convenience, mainly since they sell it at their shop.

Although there is no estimated price readily available for labour, it’s good to know many clients liked how they paid precisely the quoted price. We believe this shows transparency and honesty.

Lastly, despite the lack of details on labour guarantees, Silva is known for his professionalism and quality of service. He has many repeat clients for vehicle maintenance, proving that many trusts his service.

In 1969, Mint Auto Service started as a small muffler repair shop. Slowly but surely, they expanded their services and now have three locations in Calgary.

We like that they are Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited. On top of that, all locations have Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council (AMVIC) licenses, which regulate Alberta’s automotive industry.

We like how easily you can set a schedule online for all locations. To add, they have a text message subscription for clients to get exclusive offers.

It’s worth mentioning they have Out of Province Inspection licenses for all locations. This is essential to ensure your vehicle meets Alberta’s safety and equipment standards if you’re coming from a different province.

However, we heard a few complaints on their Out of Province inspection. We heard instances of failure to keep the client updated during the process and expensive rates compared to similar services.

But as far as their other services go, we heard they had competitive prices. Although, we still think it will be advantageous to provide estimates to prevent price miscommunication.

Now, with their radiator repair services, the technicians will do a full inspection to ensure your engine won’t fail while driving. Past clients told us how helpful the team was regarding any engine issues.

The technicians were praised for professionalism and friendliness. In addition, many clients liked how extensive the service was regarding repair and replacement. 

Finally, they offer a 2-year or 40,000-km in-house warranty. To boot, we love that there are financing options available in all locations.

With over 15 years of service in the automotive industry, A-Q Auto Mechanic strives to provide first-class service with little turnaround time for the client’s convenience.

You should know that they are open daily, giving you time to book them on your day off. But we heard cases of late shop opening where clients had to wait outside.

We highly appreciate their technicians are trained and certified. We believe you will feel at ease they work on your vehicle due to their skilled staff.

Aside from auto mechanic services, they specifically provide radiator services. What’s great about this is they have skilled technicians specialising in radiators.

Furthermore, they consider radiator repairs a top priority. Therefore, we appreciate how they can repair radiators on the same day unless necessary parts are unavailable at their shop.

Another thing we appreciate is they will pick up and deliver the radiator to you for free. As a bonus, the staff gives recommendations based on the best warranty if that is what you need.

It’s worth noting they have a service guarantee for all types of work. They also give free estimates if you need to check the cost first before continuing with the service.

Additionally, the website has a readily available price guide for some services. But note that prices may change depending on the necessary work on your vehicle.

Unfortunately, we heard some complaints of overcharging. A few clients mentioned their services were more expensive compared to other shops they went to.
