I’ll give Bill and his crew five stars and kudos for a job well done. I’ve had a 1936 Ford model 68 cabriolet for the past four years. Unfortunately I have only driven it about 400 miles. Brought it down to Cap A Radiator and had it converted to 12 V and completely rewired. All mechanicals were addressed and repaired as needed. For the first time in four years I’m enjoying the car. Quality work fair prices and great people to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend Bill Carberry and Cap A Radiator. Thanks much for a great job.

This is the second time I have brought a vehicle to Cap A Radiator and it is the second time I have been extremely happy with the results. The first time they installed the original factory air conditioning in my 1964 Ford Galaxie and did an outstanding job. Just last week they installed power steering in my 1967 Ford F100 pickup. The job was an adventure since the kit that is sold for the conversion did not fit as it was supposed to. Many custom modifications were needed that required a lot of time and engineering. The job is perfect and I can finally enjoy driving it. (and so can my daughter) Many thanks to Bill and his team.

They have done work on several of my and friends cars. They never do unnecessary repairs. THEY ALWAYS get the job done at a fair price. Quality is always less costly in the long run. You get what you pay for. They don't use cheapo materials or parts. They stand behind their work. Nothing is 100%, I had to bring back my 66 Ford after they upgraded it to disc brakes, I didn't like the way it braked & they agreed it should of been better. Not their fault they used the parts that were recommended, the manufacturer exchanged the boosters. They did the swap at no charge. I will always recommend this shop.

Thank you to Bill and the crew at Cap-A-Radiator. I brought my 69 Skylark in for a number of issues, including a/c overhaul, radiator and timing chain cover leak. I was planning a long trip in my 50 year old car and wanted to make sure I arrived and returned safely. Cap-A-Radiator did a thorough assessment of the condition of my car. They did a great job for a fair price and found a few other issues that needed to be addressed. I liked the fact that before doing any work Bill had me stop by the shop, showed me the problems and discussed various alternatives for addressing the problems. I feel comfortable recommending Bill and Cap-A-Radiator for work on you classic car, including A/C, Radiator, and General Mechanical issues.

I met these guys when they put a flyer in my car at a car show but they are quite far from me. My 63 Oldsmobile had a converted factory A/C but it never worked right. My shop, who basically are really great, played with it season after season but it just never worked. Then I took it to Cap A Radiator. I wanted them to rip out the factory unit and give me an aftermarket setup . "No" Bill said " This is factory air and unusual ..we're going to find what's wrong and fix it right" Within 2 days they had found the problem by taking off the fender where there are some hidden leaking valves. They got the right parts and got the system working after 18 years of other shops trying. That was last summer. This week it was 92 with high humidity and we decided, let's see if it will work. WELL IT DID! People were staring at us as we cruised the highway in a 57 year old car with the windows rolled up. You guys are the best! Thanks.
