Serving The Valley ? Since 1947

Alvin Tassano Sr. and his son, Al "Junior" Tassano, purchased a fledgling Radiator business from its founders in 1955, only eight years after it opened. Al`s wife, Lillian, and Junior`s wife, Joan, kept the books for the business. Over the course of the next several years, they honed their bench skills, developed their own shop equipment, and trained several technicians in the fine art of radiator repairing and recoring, the business grew and prospered. In the early 1980`s, a third generation joined the staff. Daughter Terry and son Al III learned the business from the bottom up, having watched radiator repairs since they were young children. In 1982, the family decided to incorporate and came up with the name "Teralt, Inc.", which is a blend of Terry`s first name, the Al`s first name, and the last letter "t" for Tassano. Today, Western Radiator is largely in the capable hands of Terry and Al III. In 1994, the Tassano Family added a second location to the business: Western Radiator of Lodi. Western Radiator veteran, Randy Stapleton, manages the Lodi shop. More changes were to come as Terry and Al recognized the need for a business in the area that could manufacture automotive tubes and hoses quickly and affordably. So, in 1997, they opened Western Tubes n` hoses, which is housed in the original Stockton shop location, and again, the business grew and prospered. The Tassano Family business philosophy is: honesty, reliability, dependability, and integrity. Keeping promises, doing it right, and giving service that you would like to receive is of utmost importance to Western Radiator. This business philosophy has kept hundreds of satisfied customers coming back again and again over the last 50 years.

Great paint and body shop

Mario and the men at Perfect Auto Body are real artists with metal and paint. They have performed miracles for me on several collector cars. If you are looking for cheap go to One Day. If you want work done right and with a great attitude this is your place. Cheap no, fair YES!!! Just remember ""you get what you pay for"". Signed, Mark A happy customer

***CAUTION: POOR QUALITY WORK AND DISHONEST OWNER!!!!!!

I had a really bad experience with this body shop. Don`t be fooled by "perfect" in the name, the work is far from it, and the owner is a liar and a crook. Not only did he jack up his quote by $1000 once he had my car in his shop, but he started insulting me when I pointed out numerous flaws in his paint and body work. Initially, the problems were obvious, the color of the door not matching the fenders, wavy... view more body work down the side of the car, fish eyes in the clear coat, etc.. Now there are areas where the paint is bubbling, shrinking, and even flaking off and they won`t do anything to rectify the problems! This is the nightmare body shop people hope to never experience. If I could give them a 1/4 star I would. I just hope this review stops others from getting screwed like I was!
