We were at Lookout Mountain and traveling through Chattanooga when we started smelling like burnt rubber and we saw smoke. The good Lord had us just down the street from Duffey’s so we pulled in. This was around 4:30 pm. They couldn’t fix it the same day but offered us to stay over night there and they would get to it in the morning. Since it’s under warranty the owner got in his truck and had us follow him to the Chevrolet dealer. When he left us he gave us a card and told us to call him if we have any trouble. If we are ever in the area I would use Duffeys. I would highly recommend them.

Great experience, really nice owner. Got my radiator fixed to keep my OEM part for 1/4 of the cost of the Chinese replacement off eBay that probably wouldn’t have fit!! Thanks!!!

They do a good job. Came in with a radiator from a car that had oil in coolant and was parked for 15 years. They advised me to get it rebuilt to be safe and they were right. $150 later and I have a brand new radiator.

My car been sitting up there OVER a week and no one can give me my diagnostic. No one answers the phone and when they do it's always someone different who has no idea about my car. Very unprofessional. My car could have been fixed by now, atleast a diagnostic. Ridiculous. Very disappointed. About to just tow car somewhere else.

Great friendly bunch of guys here. I took out my radiator and they reworked it in about an hour. Even loaned me a tool or 2 to use. Friendly service and very reasonable prices. If you have any radiator issues these are the guys to go see.

Friendly, experienced staff. Took our vehicle in on emergency tow & no problems with repair or the price for the work. Thank You Duffy's for getting us on our way quickly.

This guy did a great job cleaning out my radiator that was filthy from sitting in my granny's car for 3+ years. He also replaced the overflow jug that was rotten. The next day I drove it 500 miles to N. Arkansas where it was hotter than hades and the coolant system worked flawlessly. Definitely bringing other service needs to them.

One of those mornings when things just don't start up right you can call duffys but this one day my son had to drop his car off before work there was a really good hearted young man that God brought upon his heart to help my son pay for his car to be repaired. As a mom of 5 and trying to make sure my kids know how to take care of things on their own in case something ever happened to me I just try to put them in the way of good people and Duffys so far has been good and honest even fixing our families car repairs with no issues. Wish I could of asked that upuyoung ng man's name so I can put his name in my prayer Bible he was a true blessing that day it shows there are people that see family we are all family in this world and to treat each other with kindness and if the Lord speaks to you he knows and will bless you for loving your brothers and following the father Lord Jesus Christ. If he every reads these reviews Thank you again so very much.

They fixed me right up! Didn't cost me a arm and a leg. Very knowledgeable. I had my truck looked at by 5 people and they couldn't tell me what was wrong. He looked at and told me as soon as he popped the hood and sure enough he was right

Everyone at Duffys are actual human beings . honest, perfectionist at what they enjoy and will never sugar coat anything. Expect the the best respect and security that they value you as they're next best of kin. Drive away knowing your in safe hands. They won't have it any other way. For any of your mechanical needs, go let them know I said hi.

This place is beyond greedy, I was charged 350 to replace a tank on my radiator. My car ran hot with in an hour of their service, I was priced another 350 to replace my water pump. Don't patronize this business.BEWARE

I would give zero stars if the option was available. On May 30th, I took my vehicle to duffey's radiator shop to have it serviced. The shop installed a new evaporator core, heater core, blower motor, actuators, and filled the ac with freon. The next day when I drove the vehicle, the ac was only blowing warm air. It also has a constant warm air flow coming through the floor vents while driving and a large amount of feedback coming through the speakers. None of the modes work correctly on the climate control, as it only blows in the floor. They also damaged the toggle switch to my light bar and the knob for my radio was missing. I took the vehicle back, and they ran dye through the system and used a sniffer looking for a leak. They still miraculously had the knob for my radio. I was then informed all the blend doors were working as they should and that the compressor was leaking. A new one was ordered, and I returned to have it installed. A few hours after having the compressor installed and charged with freon, it was again blowing only warm air. All the freon had leaked from the system again. Finally frustrated with the shop, I took my vehicle to another shop on Cherokee Blvd. Quality tire pros found that the threads on the accumulator were damaged when the evaporator core was installed and that was the cause for the leak. They also informed me that they would have to check all the blend doors to see if they were set correctly and the actuators to make sure they're working. I went back to duffey's and complained about it, but I was only told that there was no way they could have done the damage. All the parts were new on the ac except the evaporator core because the dash had to be pulled for the job. They never even found the correct leak. Now I have to have the dash pulled again to check the blend doors and the actuators. Duffey's also screwed the dash back down on the antenna cable which is why I have feedback in my speakers. I would not recommend anyone to take their vehicle to duffey's for ac work. They don't own up to their mistakes. Update: June 21st, I returned to quality tire pros on Cherokee Blvd. They checked my actuators and found that 2 of them were installed incorrectly. They switched the actuators to the correct locations they should have been installed, and now all the modes function as they should on my climate control. I was informed the only way to fix the antenna cable was to pull the dash again.

Had a 30+ year old tractor radiator fall apart. Part no longer available from dealers or aftermarket. They ordered a new core, and promised it would be ready in 5 days.
