Daughter warned us that with the gunk removed she couldn't guarantee that we wouldn't get a leak, but that never happened and it worked like a charm for about 2 years, until... Second visit was to replace the radiator (about 20 years old at that point) when it cracked at the top. I don't see how this could possibly be related to the flushing, so it's just one of those things. Daughter also recommended replacing the water pump which made complete sense so we also had that done. Third visit was just last week, about another two years after the radiator replacement to check out a slow leak - no obvious holes or drips, so I suspect it's a pinhole leak in one of the hoses (now more than 20 years old). Daughter has always been very professional and honest with us, and I would add she's always been friendly with me on the phone and in person. I wouldn't hesitate to take any of our other vehicles there.

Work was done quickly, correctly, and for the amount that was quoted. Evan,who is an awesome mechanic/technician,took care of some exhaust clearance issues (car is lowered)"since I had to remove the pipes anyway". Always appreciate how they go the extra mile to do things right, and taking care of you. My son had his clutch and aftermarket exhaust done here as well. Evan, fixed an issue caused by poor work at another shop, and did a great job installing the entire system. The pies exit the rear end of my Son's Evo perfectly. They are exactly the same height and the exit angles are perfect. Clutch was done earlier,great job on an all wheel drive that pretty much has you taking half the front end of the car off to get to the clutch. I would highly recommend Redline to anyone who want to take their vehicle to an honest owner (Erik)who charges very fair prices, and employs some really talented people on his staff. Your car is always in and out quicker than anywhere else I know. We have 6 vehicles in our household, and if we don't do the job ourselves, the only shop they are going to is Redline.

After an hour they said there was a problem with my rear parking break actuator. They said it would cost $80 to fix. I was very suspicious of this because I do all my own maintenance on my cars. We walked out to the shop and I asked them what the problem was. They could not explain or show me the problem. I said I wasn't going to pay them $80 for this repair and take it off the lift. I took my car to another shop and it passed with no problems. Be very suspicious of this business and always get a second opinion.
