Ed and his son own Gold Star. They are absolutely wonderful people. I have used them 3 times for Radiator problems in my old trucks. They are so wonderful and good at what they do. Working on old trucks isnt easy and they always figure it out in a timely manner. Trust Gold Star!! Support a small local business as well.

My favorite car place in Denver! I am so grateful for being recommended to them. I wont go anywhere else. They always work with me and have a quick turnaround. Also, very affordable compared to the many other car places that are so overly priced. Thank you Gold Star!

Im so happy that I ended up going to Gold Star Radiator. I had a cracked radiator on my 03 VW Golf that need to be prepared before a long distance move. I brought my car in and it turned out that there were other problems with my fan, spark plugs, etc. Ed went beyond and above to make sure my car was in good shape and safe to drive before I left. Im forever grateful to Ed and that I went here. Good man, good price.

This is our new go-to place for car repairs! Junior not only diagnosed my leaking radiator, he let me see with my own eyes the evidence of the leak rather than just have me take him on his word. His cost to replace the radiator was less than half what the dealer was trying to charge my wife, and the car was ready to pick up the next day. If you need car repairs, Gold Star will treat you right!!

I brought my rebuilt 68 Chevelle here after I spotted a leaky radiator. Within 24 hours she had a bran new high performance radiator and was buttoned back up nicely.When I brought her home I noticed a new dent in the rear of the car. Now this car is nearly a show car so I called up Gold Star and explained that I thought the dent happened at the radiator shop. The shop owner was calm, collected, polite, and respectfully asked me to bring the car in so he could look.When I brought the car in, he very cordially came to check it out. He helped me to see that the paint wasnt damaged and that the dent was actually caused by a bolt that was too tight behind the paneling. Thermal contraction of the car in the cold turned out to be to blame.So not only did I get a new radiator, but I learned something new about my baby. The thing about this experience was how the shop owner conducted himself. He clearly had respect for my awesome car and more importantly, for me.Thanks!

A few weeks ago as I left my house I saw my car was leaking coolant. My heart sank as I was on my way to work and it was almost the weekend, and I had to work over the weekend.I started calling shops and no one could even get me in for an estimate until the next week.The last shop I called suggested I call ED at Gold Star Radiator.I called Ed, he answered and told me to come right away. I did and he diagnosed and fixed it by the next day! The part the car needed was challenging to find but ED made the effort to get it right away. He really went above and beyond!!! I could not believe it!Back on the road and no leak! Yeah! I would very much recommend ED and Gold Star Radiator. 😀

I just got off the phone with some guy at this business. He didnt seem at all concerned with my overheating issue. Told me to take it in, but didnt bother to mention diagnosis fees. Gold Star seems like a rip off shop. I wouldnt get work done there!

This place is run by clowns, and their incompetence will cost you time and money. This is a father and son operation, and its pretty loose. First off, if you visit the shop, youll be surprised at how run-down it is: dirty, unsanitary, neglected, car parts strewn all over the place, some sort of engine fluid leaking from a puddly at the back of the shop and into the street... Busted bicycle frames and broken cars (probably sitting still for decades) litter the back parking lot. Its a dump.I got an estimate for a car repair, and was told that the part would be ordered the next day. About four days later, I called to check on the part (I hadnt heard from them). Ed (or Ed, Jr.?) told me that the parts wouldnt be in for another week, and that hed call me right back. He never called. I called the next day, talked to the other Ed. He said the parts never arrived, but that hed check on them and call me right back. He never called. A week went by -- and the car rentals were starting to cost me a fortune by this time...). I called again. Same story: the parts still hadnt arrived.Each time I called, I was referred to as buddy or pal or guy or bro. These guys are unprofessional. They didnt care that the parts werent in the shop, and treated me like I was an inconvenience.Truth is, THEY were the inconvenience, and I took my business elsewhere -- after wasting time and money waiting for these clowns to get their act together so I could patronize their business. Good bye, Gold Star!

I am not sure about all the complaints are on here, but I have had nothing but the best service from this shop. I had a Jeep that started to leak and shopped around. everyone was quoting 600-700 dollars. Of course I freaked out. I thought maybe I could do it myself and called the radiator store and they recommended Gold Star to me. I couldnt be more happy. Not only is the radiator new, but they did it for WAY less than the other shops. When one of the hoses split (defective hose) they replaced it for free.The shop is a true mechanic shop. There are no flowers and rainbows when you walk in, it smells like grease and you see grease. I am okay with that. To me it means they dont waste time putzing around trying to make a lobby, they just get down to business so I can get my car back quickly.

BEWARE of this business!I had a Land Rover that was over heating so I took my radiator to this shop to rebuild it. They told me they rebuilt it and I put the radiator back in the truck and it still over heated. We decided that maybe the engine was bad due to a crack in the block. The new engine overheated as well so I bought another engine and it did the same. Finally I took the radiator back out and took it to another shop. They pulled the radiator apart and had me come down to look at it. The fact was that the radiator had never been rebuilt and still had factory welds proving that this shop lied and did not due the work they billed for. This shop cost me thousands on new engines and installations because they lied about doing the work on a piddly $125.00 radiator rebuild. How unethical! BEWARE!!!!!!!

Had them do a radiator for me and was pleased on face value. Six months later the radiator cracked with no head gasket failure or contributing factors. Took back in to be warrantied and ran into a remarkably rude staff member who told me to come back without even looking at the radiator. Eventually had the manager take care of it, but slightly cheaper price point is not worth having to go through the entire process.

My experience here was absolutely appalling. aside from installing a new radiator and refilling it these guys know absolutely nothing about engine cooling. theyre replaced my radiator and still had issues with overheating. Had to take it back for a possible water pump issue. it wasnt the water pump but I got a call the next day saying they had fixed it with a sealant. I never approved this work, if you can even call it that. I went in upset and asking where they get off pouring permanent sealant through someones engine without authorization. The owner Ed, a complete and utter miserable excuse for a human being began yelling at me, cursing about how hed been in business for 23 years. With a mentality like that is a miracle. When I asked to see the mechanic in a bottle he used instead of the seemlingly lacking skill and knowledge he should have, he proceeded to yell, you wanna F@#%ing take this outside. This sorry excuse for a business has no reason to exist and if it was a few miles in the direction of any other neighborhood it wouldnt. good luck to you ed and your miserable existence. you and your portly goon are true pieces of excrement.

I called and asked for help with a diesel fuel tank as they had come highly recommended and in the process of talking to Ed he hung up on me when he felt and realized that he probably could not help me.Not what I was expecting as they had been highly recommended to me.Not now!!
