Auto Radiator-Craig, CO
My experience could not have been more optimal.
Live in Stbt Spgs and after seeing a small 2" diameter spot underneath the radiator on the garage floor (without any hint of overheating),
I brought our '14 D. Durango to a local garage (former owned by a well known local who recently departed back to Baltimore) for diagnosis and tire rotation. The cooling system was pressure tested and found to have a small leak on the driver's side corner and was quoted a figure of $1100 for installation of a new radiator. I was informed that nobody in town solders radiator anymore.
I then spoke with Dean at Auto Radiator in Craig. He did say he would solder the radiator, depending on the location of the leak. About a week later I drove to Craig to leave the car w/ Dean and rode the clean and convenient Stbt Regional Transit bus back from Craig.
The next day he said he re-pressure tested the cooling system to confirm the location but didn't think a solder would be successful since the it was right where the aluminum transitioned to the plastic and he thought a replacement would be $700-750.
A day later he called to say the work was completed and I could pick it up whenever convenient...even a Saturday (today).
Rode the bus back to Craig (2nd stop in Craig is conveniently, right in front of the radiator shop and was exactly on time on both trips) and paid $686.96
Thanks Dean! read more
