Radiator Shop In The Bay Area?

[bcarey]

Hey fellas,

 

Anyone know of a good place to get a stock radiator re-cored in the Bay Area? And how much it might cost?

 

Thanks!

I've used Discount Radiator in Pacifica many times over the past 25+ years and they do great work.

 

I was thinking of getting my stock radiator recored as well, but decided I'm going to swap in a 320i radiator instead.

 

I found that San Carlos Radiator gets great reviews so I may take the used 320i radiator I got with my car to them for inspection before I install it.  Both get great scores on Yelp.

 

Hope this helps...

Hi Greg,

 

Awesome, thanks for the recommendations. I'll give them a call.

Hi--

 

I used DOT Radiator in Hayward a few years back to rod-out a 320i aluminum radiator; the work was fine and cost less than some quotes.

 I used Berkley Radiator Works. I went with the heavy duty service two row core 02 radiator. They built it for me on site not some imported offshore unit. I have driven my car up in Sac on a 100+ degree day in traffic and the temp gauge stayed on the bottom quarter of the range all day. I prefer the old school copper and brass radiators over the plastic/aluminum, just a personal preference.
