I needed my coolant replaced due to age not mileage. I called the Subaru dealership and they wanted a ridiculous amount of money to do it and other radiator shops did the same. I called these guys and they were extremely reasonable did it when they said they were going to do it without any hassle Henry you and your guys are the best thank you very much. Think positive! there are still good honest mechanics out there. read more

I went to Valley Radiator to see if I had a leak from the cooling system (radiator) the owner of the place said he would have to perform a pressure test. After two hours I was called to come and pick up my Ford Escape, I arrived and was surprised when I was told I did not have to pay!! Because I have no leak. Reliable service. Honest owner. read more

Wow! First id like to start by saying I am a woman with no clue of what to do in many cases with my car. My BF prepped me of what the issue may be before I went to check with Frank.he said it could be a cracked radiator etc. It was a Saturday morning at 10am. Frank greeted and me and let me know he would be right with me. He went to handle another issue. Then proceeded to save me what could have easily been $150 dollars. He said "the only thing I see is a broken cap to your radiator" then he said let's wait and check. He put a used cap on my radiator and we waited to see if that would solve the problem and viola the fans kicked in and all was right with the world again. He offered me advice on how to move forward. He was so pleasant and he was completely honest with me and didn't try to up charge me for anything. read more

You no longer have to fear taking your car to a mechanic because you know nothing about cars. Especially us ladies. Henry is honest and will give you honest answers about the repairs your car needs along with reasonable prices. My car is 11 years old and starting to show its age but Henry always fixes everything in a timely manner and a great price. I cannot say enough good things about him. I happen to live around the corner from his shop but if I didn't I would travel because he is worth it. It's good to have peace of mind that you are not going to get ripped off when you take your car in. read more

They provided me with great service handsdown! Henry and Francisco are amazing they are friendly and very quick to get the job done! read more

Valley Radiator - Auto Repair Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I went to Valley Radiator because the AC on my Toyota keeps dying. I read the good reviews on Yelp and I was very happy with the service. Henry was very helpful and everything was very reasonably priced. read more

My 74' truck was leaking coolant but I didn't know the what-where-how-why or whatever. I brought it here and they figured out in a snap . The leak was coming from my engines very old water pump. They replaced it and gave me a new thermostat, oh and flushed my radiator-of course topping it off with fresh new coolant. They did this all for below the average cost of what is considered to be the average repair price of just replacing the water pump. So not only is it the lowest price on replacement for a water pump, I feel like I got a new thermostat and radiator flush for free. Big money saver for sure! Plus, they were very nice, respectful, and professional. I totally trust them and would most definitely use them again in the future. read more

Well, it's true. They look at your issues, and instead of sell you whatever they can, suggests a few alternatives. While it may worry you to allow something to get worse before you bring it to them, it is nice to ask questions and get a few choices before they touch your car. I like the vibe here. In the crux of what is a nice part of Sherman Oaks and the bad part of Van Nuys (or...just Van Nuys, I can just say Van Nuys and people get it). Good people. Good prices. Excellent care. Nice work guys. read more

Super quick service, and you can tell they care about the work they do. Needed hole repaired in my radiator and they did it within a couple hours. So glad to have them down the street. read more

Henry is incredible, honest, and does excellent work. If you are looking for radiator repair and want someone who is an expert in their field, look no further. Valley Radiator is the place to go! Thanks for the great job! read more

These guys are great,they replaced my radiator and very reasonably priced they also do mechanical work. I had a oil leak, instead of guessing where it was coming from, they asked me steam clean the engine so they can pinpoint the leak it was coming out of the timing chain cover and they replaced the timing chain and and other bad parts, and it was very reasonable Very happy with work and the service and would recommend them very highly Robert read more

Great place. i was referred to them by someone at Auto Zone in Hollywood. I called and described what i needed. Got a quote. i called around to a few other shops to compare. Valley was in the ballpark with most. I spoke to Enrique. He was very helpful and informative. i felt i would get honest treatment from him, and the job i needed, done. The car was ready when they said it would be .i was shown the old part. They couldn't have been nicer. And, they did a good job. Worth the trip to Van Nuys from Hollywood, even though there were 2 places closer. VR was less expensive than one, and the other was so outrageous as to be laughable. read more

I'm now a repeat customer and am very pleased. Art exceeded expectations again in terms of quality of work, communication and timely completion. I strongly recommend! read more

they gave me a price over the phone withing the next hour i had the radiator i needed. this is the cheapest place for a car radiator in the valley. trust me i looked everywhere even online. warranty and good quality items. read more

Had a mysterious leak in my radiator that Valley Radiator was able to pressure check and diagnose with no trouble at all. Although unrepairable, I was able to get a great aftermarket product for a discounted price. I remember coming here back in the 80's to have a heater core rebuilt. Can't believe it's still here after all these years. They definitely know there stuff! read more

I haven't been the best at keeping my car up but I did regularly take it to Firestone for their oil change and supposed 29 point inspection. Imagine my surprise when my last visit, the manager at Firestone was told I needed almost 2 grand worth of work on my car because it was overheating. Looked these guys up on yelp and was pleasantly pleased by the great service and honesty. He popped the hood and assessed the problem with me right there, asking me questions about when my car over heats. Turns out, that I'd simply blown a fuse thus my fan was out. After taking all of five seconds to replace it, he let the car cool down and opened my radiator cap to find that my radiator had ZERO coolant in it after all my fluids, including coolant was supposedly topped off at the Firestone a week earlier. He added water, taught me how to check for leaks and needless to say, I will be bringing my car back to these guys next week for the full coolant flush. These guys are amazing, lifesavers and reasonably priced. If you don't want to sit on the side of the road in the Valley in an overheated car, take it to Valley Radiator. read more

I've always used All Valley Radiator for my Radiator needs. They're quick, reliable, reasonably priced, and they guarantee their work. That's why all of their reviews are 5 stars! read more

I have the best experience here for quality of service and for pricing. The guys are very knowledgeable with cooling questions and will install the radiator for a very fair price compared to other garages. I purchased radiators to repair the numerous cars Ive worked on throughout the years. I always recommend this place for anyone needing a radiator for any car. Best price hands down. read more

I took my 1964 Impala Radiator in. They serviced it, fixed a leak, and spray painted it black for $60. I liked the service I recieved. Definitely not show quality but I knew I wasnt going to get that. Awesome deal for what I got. read more

Five years ago (June 2007) the A/C in my minivan started to blow hot air. I took it in and Valley Radiator quickly diagnosed the problem and gave me a reasonable estimate. When I picked it up (ahead of the estimated time) the mechanic said the A/C would now freeze me out if I wanted it. He wasn't exaggerating! Five years and two months later it is still a cool as when they fixed it. File this review under Better Late Than Never. read more

Amazing work, on time and a great price. took my car in at 9am, it was done by 11 and it actually cost less than the estimate, that and a 1year warranty. I recommend Valley Radiator to anyone read more

Had car towed there, radiator problems (so i thought). Turns out it wasn't the radiator, it was the hose. Plus possibly water pump. They said it would be $400 for hose (hard to get to, plus another part req'd), plus another $300 for water pump if it was bad too. Bottom line: $200 !! WTF ? LOVE these guys ! water pump was okay (it was water from leaking hose, not from pump), and the other part they thought might be needed wasn't. Honest + competent -- what more could you ask for ? read more

Ladies in the area (or gentlemen who don't know much about cars) these guys are the go to guys if you don't want to worry about being taken advantage of! Henry and the guys are awesome and always take care of me! I finally found my go to place in LA to repair my Jag after several others were trying to rip me off left and right! They are honest and charge reasonable prices! read more

My 2006 Chevy Impala had a crack in the radiator so I took it to Valley Radiator to get it fix. I was greeted by Henry who was very professional, honest and up front with everything he was gonna do. I had a problem with my power steering pump also and they were able to fix that too. I have never experienced a shop with a high caliber in professionalism and honesty. I would and have recommended Valley Radiator to my coworkers and family. Henry and his staff are awesome in every way. I never felt pressured to repair anything on my car I didn't need. My 2006 Chevy Impala is running again. Thanks Valley Radiator. read more

I brought my car in yesterday and worked with Henry. He is not only honest but he didn't try to overcharge me like Firestone did. I came here thinking I needed two thermostats replaced and my upper radiator hose because my diagnosis at Firestone left me with a quote of $700 of services needing to be done. That didn't really agree with my spirit when I heard that so I did my own research which led me to Valley Radiator. Henry greeted me and took a look under the hood when I arrived. He noted that it might only be the upper radiator hose which proved to be accurate. He didn't try to up sell me and said that he could do the additional work for the thermometers but that would be doing me a disservice because I probably wouldn't need it. I got my car back today and it is running great so far. I would definitely recommend this place for the excellent service and their truthfulness. One last thing to add is that my final bill was $550-600 less than all the services Firestone was charging me for. read more

Great place. I work on many antique and classic cars, and he always gives me a number of options based on the vehicle and my client's budget. Highly recommend!! read more

Henry is the best. He has really earned our trust over the years. He has done several odd jobs on my Toyota Rav 4, and he always has the lowest price from all other mechanics I have checked out in the past. I never had any reason to believe that was taking me for a ride, as I do with some other mechanics who just see a girl that has no clue. I just moved from the Valley and am sad to not have him nearby. read more

This was the best auto repair shop I have ever dealt with. They were very honest and straightforward in their itemizing what needed to be done, they didn't surprise you with add on's at the end and get this, they even discounted our final price because they said it was easier to replace our radiator then they quoted us!!!! This is unheard of in the auto repair field. We drove from Simi Valley just because of the ratings and would do it again in a heartbeat!!! These guys are the best!!! read more

Car overheated and died. They diagnosed a broken hose. $40 and I was on the road again in 2 hours. Honest, fast and cheap. What more could you ask? read more

This is the best shop around, hands down!!! Friendly-humble staff. Great prices and they do an awesome job!!!

This place was awesome. They handle their business. Professional, reliable, reasonably priced, and above all they get it done quick. I had to replace my entire radiator, I got there @ 10:00 am to drop off my car and got a phone call @ 12:30pm that it was ready. It also came with a 1 year warranty. I would definitely recommend this place 100% !!! read more

Just as I came home and turned off the car heard some hissing and saw smoke from the hood so automatically assumed it was the radiator. Did my research that night and called these guys in the morning. Had AAA tow my car down there and they confirmed the problem was a crack in the radiator. They called me the following day to let me know the car was ready to go, but let me leave the car there an extra two days until my off day from work. Totally worth the extra $45 I had to pay AAA to tow the car that distance. read more

Great service done in within the estimated time I was told! I appreciated being given options as to what needed to be done. Thank you!

I have taken my car to Valley Radiator for several years, this morning morning I checked in with Henry, when I got in they started on my car on schedule, very happy with the service. this is why I return, thank you read more

I just want to say these guys are great! Not only did I get my car back the same day but they came in FAR BELOW Pep boys on their prices. Henry was so nice and helpful, they called me and keep me "in the loop" about my service and gave me a great guarentee. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. read more
