Economy is the best.-I rebuilt my entire AC system on my vintage Caddy as a project. Rick charged it after I built the system for use with R134a instead of the factory R12. He answered all my final questions I had about it, helped determine the proper charge capacity (which was spot on, it blew ice cold), and even gave me a little retrofit notice label to fill out myself.-Rick also changed my little brother's radiator in his IS300 and it's held up for over a year now.-He charged an obscenely low price to stop a leak on a transmission flare fitting I couldn't get to stop dribbling on my new radiator.Cannot recommend this shop enough! Honest, knowledgeable, and professional. What more can you ask for?

Honest. Knowledgeable. Works fast. I trust him. He did my water pump and hoses. I will use him again.

Best decision I've made in a long time coming here. This unassuming Shop is now my go to AC repair. The owner is super nice and knows what he's doing. I originally went to a Ford dealership and they told me that my 09 Escape Hybrid needed a whole new condenser coil to the tune of 1200$ I'm glad I walked away from that. Yelp helped me find this place and I hope my review helps convince another person to stop in here. THANK YOU!!

The pinnacle of honesty and integrity is what you can expect here from Rick. I was visiting S. Cal and had issues with my AC. Also needed to flush the radiator. The estimate I got from a dealer was $800+ and other places were quite similar. After reading yelp reviews I gave this place a shot. Both the AC job (replace condenser, pipe, and recharge)and radiator cost me $600. Hats off Rick. He works very limited hours and is a one man operation.

Auto ac started blowing cold air intermittently. When I was driving on the highway it functioned, but when the engine was idle the ac would blow warm air through the vents. Long story short, took my car to three places for a diagnostic estimate. Although their quote was slightly higher than the other quotes I received, I decided to take my car here due to the 5 star reviews. I am so glad I did! It turns out that they did not need to replace all parts as originally quoted- bringing my cost down significantly. I greatly appreciate their honesty (which is so hard to find these days), and I am very pleased to have a working air conditioning system with consistent cold air blowing through the vents again.Update: As of 7/23/21, my auto AC is still working great and I haven't had any issues since (knock on wood) my original post.

Rick the owner of Economy Radiator A/C & Hose Repair is awesome. Called him this morning with a hose repair I needed for one of our customers and he was on it in less than 30 minutes. I had called 5 other locations and 2 didn't answer their phone and two said it would be a week before they would even look at the vehicle. Rick said bring it in! His prices are more than fair and he even gave me advice on two other vehicles I had questions on. We will be using him the next time we have an A/C job. Thank you Rick.

A small shop with a big heart !! Thank you for fixing my AC on my difficult Jeep Cherokee. They (Rick) will also build custom hoses and fix your radiator. Best to call ahead beforehand because of limited hours of operation. You more than likely will need a appointment. A trusted place to give your business.

Took my 2010 Chevrolet Camaro to get a general AC inspection done and recharge. First car in the shop in the morning. Rick had me bring in the car popped the hood and did an inspection. He added new freon and added a dye. He could not find any leaks but left the dye in to show any future problems. I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Super professional and super speedy. Thanks a lot Rick!

Did a great job! My air-conditioning blows ice cold now & the services were done at a very low cost! I could not be more satisfied.

AC wasn't working on a truck I recently bought and I could see the compressor wasn't spinning. I figured $$$$ for new compressor, ac system, etc. Dreading this costly repair, I looked up local AC Repair shops and saw Economy with 5 stars and 10 raving reviews. Mo Mo's review in particular caught my attention, 3 previous shops quoted hundreds of dollars, but turned out to be a reasonable fix. I liked the sound of that.Monday morning, took the truck in to Rick. Few hours later got a call that only the compressor line's o-rings were bad and high-pressure switch was faulty. Rick ordered the parts that day, and took a day to get them because it's an older vehicle. Wednesday morning I brought the truck back, two hours later it was done, blowing nice cold air just in time for summer!! Couldn't be happier and the cost was only a 1/4 of what I anticipated. Highly recommend Rick's shop!

Awesome experience! It is so nice to know there are still honest people in the world that aren't just trying to rip you off (aka Fisk Automotive). Last year I paid Fisk $180 to look for a problem with my AC which they never found. I suffered through a hot summer, then called Economy Radiator, AC Repair. One day and $50 bucks later my AC was fixed. So grateful for an honest and reasonable experience.
