Our specialty
AA Air Conditioning & Radiators opened in 1992 as one of South Florida's first auto air conditioning and radiator shops. We build our own A/C hoses, driers and compressors, so we can repair what other shops replace or send out.
We service everything from Hondas, Toyotas and Chevrolets to Bentleys and Maseratis, install complete A/C systems in vehicles that never had one, and supply compressors to local garages and to customers in the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and Latin America.
A recharge without finding the leak only buys time. We find the leak, fix it, and charge the system to factory spec.
What we fix
We grew from an A/C and radiator shop into a full-service garage because customers asked us to. Foreign and domestic cars, trucks and SUVs.
Leak checks, recharges, compressors, condensers and complete A/C installs for cars, trucks and SUVs. Air conditioning is where we started in 1992.
New radiators only, professionally installed and covered by our warranty, plus diagnosis for overheating, coolant leaks and failed fans.
Pads, rotors, calipers, master cylinders and brake lines on all makes. Squeaks, grinding or a pulsing pedal mean it's time for a brake check.
Starting and charging system testing, alternator and starter replacement, and a full line of automotive batteries.
Window motors, regulators and switches, plus wiring faults, fuses, relays and battery drains.
Head gaskets and head jobs, oil leaks and complete engine replacements, all backed by our warranty.
Diagnosis and repair for slipping, hard-shifting or leaking transmissions, plus CV joints and axles, on foreign and domestic vehicles.
Shocks and struts, tie rods, ball joints, control arms, pitman arms and bushings, replaced with the right equipment.
Computer diagnostics with current scan tools and lab scopes, and tune-ups that restore performance and gas mileage.
Oil and filter changes with the oil your engine calls for, plus air and cabin filters and the routine checks that catch problems early.
Timing belt and water pump replacement on all makes and models, done before a broken belt leaves you stranded.

Built on referrals
Nearly all of our new business comes from customer recommendations.
Customers
I can not tell how helpful, respectful and proactive this team is. I am a complete novice and was met with a level of service and support I have never encountered to date.
I have taken my car to other shops before, but none has fixed my car as fast and efficient as AA did. I will only deal with AA from now on!
Thanks so much for fixing my car issue so quickly. Your company has provided such amazing customer service to date, it has really blown me away. It is very rare in business today.

From the shop
Practical answers about A/C, cooling and repairs from the technicians who do the work.
Repairs & Diagnostics
The check engine light means your car's computer found a fault in the engine, emissions or transmission controls and stored a trouble code. A steady light means get it checked soon. A flashing light means a severe misfire that can damage the catalytic converter, so stop driving when it's safe.

Car A/C
Yes, in most cases. Aftermarket A/C comes as vehicle-specific kits that bolt into many classic cars and trucks, or universal under-dash units that adapt to almost anything with room for the parts. Whether it's worth it depends on the engine, the cooling system and the car.

Radiators & Cooling
If your car overheats when the A/C is on, the A/C usually isn't the problem. It adds engine load and heat in front of the radiator that a weak cooling fan, clogged fins, low coolant, or a failing water pump or thermostat can't handle, especially in stop-and-go traffic.
