“We went from once a week to once a month cleaning of the radiator core. As you well know, time is money… the expense we have saved from not having to shut down the machine is well in our favor.”
John Bosier, Purchasing Agent — The Melvin Stone Company, on five folded-core conversions
“The machines we have changed over to the conventional cores have had no cooling problems in any type of operation… thank you for helping me cure my customers' cooling-system needs.”
Gary Clark — Clarks Equipment & Services, Fairfield, OH
Custom fabrication
From start to finish, we custom-fabricate coolers and heat exchangers to your specifications — spiral-wound fin tube, longitudinal cooling fins, simple copper tube, and more.
Automotive services
Repair, re-core, recondition — or a brand-new complete radiator, most with a limited lifetime warranty. We replace cracked tanks on plastic-tank radiators, make up our own A/C hoses, and service your entire heating, cooling, and air-conditioning system.
“For 2 or 3 years the dealer had 'attempted' to repair the problem, without success. After RJR's repair we took the old van on a 2,000-mile vacation and the air conditioner performed quite well.”
Roger D. Stanton — Oxford, OH
“RJR Radiator provided me the most courteous, professional and timely service that I've experienced in a long time. Consider me a customer that has put trust and confidence in RJR.”
Gary Goolie — West Chester, OH
“We were stranded in another country, 500 miles from home… you were compassionate, prompt, and resourceful enough to improvise a solution. Reassuring to see there are still helpful people in this world.”
Mark Rogowski — Barrie, Ontario, Canada

About RJR
RJR Radiator has served the Tri-State from the same trade for over five decades — a diverse shop that takes care of everyone from the retail drive-in customer to the region's largest industrial operations: steel mills, lime mines, gravel quarries, paper mills, trucking companies, and equipment dealers.
We strive to provide a clean, friendly environment and to supply every customer with the highest quality and the best service to be found in our industry.
We don't just meet City, State, and Federal guidelines — we exceed them. RJR has been reclaiming Freon in compliance with the EPA since long before it was required, and we recycle oil, antifreeze, and nearly every metal part that comes off a job: condensers, radiators, evaporators, heaters, and more.
