Auto Cool Radiator Service

Founded in 1977, Auto Cool Radiator Service has spent over four decades building expertise in Hackensack and throughout northern New Jersey. The shop holds an ASE certification and maintains a warehouse stocked with more than 800 new radiators, giving them unusual inventory depth for a local specialist. Their 30 customer reviews generate a 4.7-star average, and their service area covers Hackensack, Teaneck, Englewood, and the surrounding Bergen County municipalities.

What distinguishes this shop from general auto repair shops is their focused expertise in cooling and heating systems, combined with a willingness to work on older and classic vehicles that many shops turn away. Their warehouse inventory means they can often complete radiator replacements in a single visit rather than ordering parts and scheduling follow-up appointments. The technicians provide detailed explanations of problems and maintenance tips, with one reviewer noting the owner shared weekend driving suggestions while awaiting a Monday repair appointment.

Customer stories from reviews show specific scenarios the team has handled. One customer brought in a 2001 Ford Explorer whose air conditioning had not worked for years, and the shop resolved it in a single evening. Another customer with an overheating problem after just three miles of driving received a system flush and antifreeze refill that eliminated the issue entirely. A third customer praised the 6-month written warranty on both parts and labor for a comprehensive radiator replacement on a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu.
