Hamilton Radiator ripoff This company will rob you blind! Peterborough Ontario
This company will rob you blind! I took my Ford Bronco in to have the AC tested. They called me later in the day to say it was going to cost me $1500 to have it fixed. I was told it needed a new compressor, new belts, new hoses, new dryer. I was blown away at this and said absolutely not. I'd rather drive with out AC then pay that amount.
Well a couple of weeks later I took the truck into another shop and asked them to kindly test the AC. I was fortunate that the mechanic testing it has been around a long time doing just that. Well he eventually came to me and indicated that all that it needed was a new "O" ring and a recharge which came to $125.80.
I called Hamilton Radiator after this was fixed and told them what I thought of their business practices. I was told that they only try and make sure things are working good. No way, all they are doing is ripping off the consumer.
To top things off a few weeks after I was speaking to a co-worker who had purchased a used car that the AC did not work in. He told me he had it in and was told it was going to cost him $2200 to have it fixed. I asked him where he had it checked and was blown away to fnd it was also Hamilton Radiator in Peterborough. I told him my stsory and to get another estimate somewhere else. He did and it ended up only costing him $184.25 to have his fixed. BEWARE OF HAMILTON RADIATOR

False complaint

This complaint about my business is completey false and unbelievable. The dollar value of the quote that I apparently gave to this person is what is so unbelievable. We can instal an entire air conditionning system in a car for less then his $2,200 quote. Thats how you know this is a fake complaint, and that the person who wrote it failed to create an intelligent report.
Hamilton Radiator has been in business nearly 30 years and we specialize in air conditionning work. If we actually gave quotes like this we would not be in business today. We have built our credible reputation on hard and honest workmanship. We come highly recommended by all auto garages and dealerships in Peterborough.
I certainly hope anyone reading this absurd report will be able to see past its pathetic attmept to make us look us bad.
