I've had several radiators repaired and even a gas tank out of Ben's 1967 Pontiac station wagon done here. One of the radiators was out of a Bobcat about 10 years ago which at the time was over $600. for a new one.

I had American Radiator in Pasco Washington recore mine for my 1966 2+2. Happy with it. I got it back in 3 weeks.

Thanks everybody for all the great information posted. You may never know who you have helped down the road. So sit back and have a cold one and toast yourself for a job well done.

I hope I don't get into trouble now. I started a twin to this thread on the 67-72chevytrucks.com forum. I will post a link to that thread so anyone looking for a radiator shop will have a larger database to locate a shop.

In the New York region (not upstate, but on the Island) there is Cap-A-Radiator:

https://www.caparadiator.com

They did my Harrison radiator in my '63, and I'm planning on a stop there tomorrow with the radiator and heater core from one of my '56 Safaris. I'll post back with my current experience.

As I have previously posted I have this same thread running on the 67-72 truck forum. I have complied a list of all the radiator shops and a moderator has opened up the first post of the thread and posted them for easy reference.

I don't know if that is possible on this forum or not but, if it is I can forward the list to whomever can make it happen.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed.

A correction, then, to my previous post. Cap-A Radiator in Farmingdale, NY was acquired in 2023 by Acme Radiator in Islip Terrace, NY:

https://acmeradiator.net

49 Carleton Avenue
Islip Terrace, New York 11752

631-581-9199

I just dropped my '56 Safari radiator there on Monday to be re-cored, and they tested my heater core for me (which, amazingly, was good).

Hopefully, this will make its way into the "next" update to the master list. ;-)

An easy process to fix most leaks. A tough process to re-core at home.

Luckily my Harrison Brass and Heater core were excellent originals.

Norcini's Radiator Shop (was). Now there is a Norcini's Autobody Shop in King of Prussia, and elsewhere.
