Vancouver, Washington
Radiator repairs
most shops
don't attempt.
Since 1998, A & B has been Vancouver's trusted destination for radiator rebuilds, cooling system overhauls, and precision auto repair — work that requires skill, not just a parts swap.
What We Do
Specialized services,
not a parts-swapping shop
Most auto shops hand off cooling system work. We do it in-house — from core cleaning and leak repairs to full rebuilds on aluminum and copper radiators.
Radiator Repair & Rebuild
Core removal, tank repair, fin straightening, and complete rebuilds for copper, brass, and aluminum radiators. We fix what others replace.
Cooling System Service
Complete cooling system flush, pressure testing, thermostat replacement, and overflow tank service to keep your engine at the right temperature.
Heater Core & HVAC
Heater core replacement, blend door repair, and cabin climate diagnostics. Stay warm in winter and cool in summer — no guesswork.
General Auto Repair
Brakes, suspension, oil service, and diagnostic trouble code reading. Honest assessments, no upsells, no surprises on the bill.
Commercial Fleet Service
Keeping local businesses moving with reliable radiator and cooling system maintenance for delivery vans, trucks, and commercial vehicles.
Custom Fabrication
Custom radiator fabrication for classic cars, hot rods, and specialty vehicles. Aluminum or copper — we build to your specs.
About Us
Built on reputation,
not marketing
A & B Radiator & Auto Repair has served the Vancouver, Washington community since 1998. What started as a focused radiator shop grew into a full-service auto repair facility — but our core identity hasn't changed.
We specialize in the cooling system work that many general shops avoid. Radiator leaks that seem impossible to find. Heater cores that have been "on the list" for months. Overheating problems that come back after a parts swap. That's where we earn our keep.
We're located at 8411 NE Fourth Plain Blvd, right in the heart of Vancouver. No appointment necessary for diagnostics — just drive in and we'll take a look.
Why A & B
Things we believe
should be obvious
-
Repair over replace. We'll fix your radiator when it can be fixed. Replacement is the last option, not the first.
-
No appointment needed. Drive in during business hours. We'll assess the problem and explain what needs to be done — clearly, without jargon.
-
Transparent pricing. You'll know the cost before we start. No surprise charges, no "while we're at it" upsells.
-
Local, not a chain. We're your neighbors. This is our community. We'd rather earn your repeat business than your referral.
