Freds Radiator shop has done work on several of my friends cars and his work is impeccable. I have never heard of an unhappy customer. I will be taking my car to him today.

Ran over a tire driving down the freeway. Stopped in at Fred’s to get a piece on the bottom of the car reattached. They had us in and out in no time and gave us a mini Jesus to pass along to someone else. Really nice guys!

So my good friend took her car to Fred's for a/c repair. Three visits and almost $800 later it was still not working. He then recommended she leave it a fourth time for yet another bundle of money. I recommended my amazing mechanic at Discount Automotive (Jimmy and Laurie Owen owners.) In about 40 minutes he had the a/c repaired and for only $85. I'm so happy my friend now will be using a reputable shop. Shame on Fred's for charging a whopping $140 just to put freon in! Can you say RIP OFF??

Very honorable and honest mechanic. Never had issues with the work and fair pricing. Will take care of all his customers and cares more about the customers best interest than gouging customers for every cent. Highest levels of integrity and decency imaginable.

On my way home from DFW on 7/24, my car broke down on the highway—about 100 miles from Waco. Since I’m not from the area, I had my CRV towed to Greg May Honda, assuming a dealership would be the safest bet. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Greg May Honda communicated poorly and then quoted me an outrageous price for a catalytic converter replacement. Thankfully, I came across Fred’s shop while searching for alternatives—and what a difference. On 7/29, I had my vehicle towed to Fred’s, and from the very beginning, the experience was night and day. Fred’s communication was excellent, and it was immediately clear he genuinely cares about helping people. Even without an appointment, he managed to receive, diagnose, and fully repair my car within just three days. To top it off, Fred charged me half of what the dealership quoted. The honesty, efficiency, and professionalism at Fred’s are unmatched. I’ll absolutely be returning for any future automotive needs—and recommending Fred’s to everyone I know.

If you want to get your vehicle fixed and working like new take your vehicle to Fred's radiator and auto repair shop. I guarantee you that when you get your vehicle back it will be working like a new vehicle. Thanks Mr Fred and the workers for a job well done. Thanks again, I'm back on the road again and I don't have a care in the world for my car drives and feel like a new one 🫶🏽.

They did a good job replacing my son's rotors and brake pads. The cost was reasonable and they finished the same day.

The response from the owner below suggests it was another business but it was Fred's. Took my car in for some body work. Was told it would be better than new once the work was done. The replacement part was used and the paint job was poor, causing it to need to be redone, which cost me more rental car time and expense. I cannot recommend this place.

We were 7 hours from home and our radiator blew. Not knowing anywhere we googled and found Freddie’s. Had the vehicle towed there. I always say never judge a book by its cover when we pulled up it didn’t look like much but let me tell you I Never have I been so happy. He put 3 guys on our vehicle and got our old radiator out and a new one put in in just over 1 hour.a fancy building doesn’t make a good shop. It’s the people that work there that make the shop and Freddie’s is full of kind knowledgeable mechanics. Thank you so much

So glad I came here!! I had last minute car engine issues, and the owner of the shop even stayed after hours while my car was towed. The people were so kind and helpful! Service was fast and very reasonably priced.

This place is trash. We stopped by while following my nephew to college. His car was running hot and we needed someone to take a look and give us an idea of what the issue could be. We stopped here at 1pm and while there were at least 5 dudes there (not busy), they wouldn't look at it because they closed at 3:30. We left there and found another mechanic 3 minutes away. He was also closing at 3:30 with 1 guy working on a car. The guy came out with his son shadowing, took the time to look at my nephews car and told us what the issue was. It didn't even take 30 minutes but I did leave him with a monetary tip. I hope his business gets all the clients!

Always leave their shop Happy! They find out the cause of your issue and do their best to fix it, and they give you the price up front, so you're not surprised by the bill. I've always felt that they care for the customer and do what they can to make sure you are happy and the vehicle is fixed right the first time. I won't willingly go to another mechanic, ever again!

Just terrible 😞 I took my car to get rear shocks .3days later, I picked up my car. And only one shock was replaced, passenger side still bouncing,and now I have a huge oil leak . Don't know if they cracked the oil pan or broke a line. Im so disappointed. Money just wasted. I noticed the problem 5 minutes after driving off. I called immediately and the lady that answered said bring it back. But why will I do that when yall screwed me over the first time? I have 2 kids ,no good running car. My advice is to never use this place. Im begging you. If u do , you will be sorry too. Stick to known name shops like Good year, pep boys, macco, etc...

This 5-star rating is all about honesty. This was my first time visiting this automative shop and I did so because of the good reviews. Fred was honest with me about not needing an A/C evacuation and recharge service. The Mercedes dealership here in Waco was recommending that I get this service and they wanted to charge me over $600 dollars. I did not think I needed the A/C service because my A/C was blowing nice and cold. This is why I wanted to get a second opinion. Anyway, Fred is definitely worth your time. He was down to earth and did not charge me a dime for his technician to check my car's air conditioning system. Thank You Fred again and God bless you!

Excellent service and very reasonable prices. I called to explain what was going on with my vehicle and was told to bring it by. Upon arriving, I was greeted with a warm welcome by a gentleman outside and directed to Fred. Fred was very informative, explained to me what was wrong with my car, and got everything taken care of promptly on a Saturday morning. I highly recommend this place if you are having any issues with your car.
