OUR STORY

Built on Trust. Driven by Quality.

Radiator Auto was started by Dave Kowalski, a lifelong gearhead who got tired of watching shops overcharge and underdeliver. After working at dealerships and chain shops, he knew there had to be a better way.

Dave opened Radiator with a simple promise: treat every car like it's your own. Today, our team of experienced technicians serves the greater Portland area with the same values — honesty, quality, and respect for your time and budget. We're not a chain. We're your neighbors, and our reputation is everything.
