About 1-800 Radiator & AC
1800-Radiator & A/C is one of the fastest-growing franchises in North America. It's a simple concept: 1-800-Radiator & A/C delivers brand-new radiators, a/c condensers, compressors, and other automotive parts within two to three hours to local customers (automotive repair shops, parts stores, etc.) and next day to these same types of wholesale customers in rural areas.
Values & History
1-800 Radiator & A/C integrates cutting edge technology, extensive buying power and great vendor relationship with locally owned and operated franchised businesses to provide the best solution for the wholesale automotive effect. 1-800-Radiator & A/C sells its parts to automotive repair shops and do-it-yourselves. We do not install the parts or perform any repair work.
In 2007 we expanded our product line to include air conditioning and fan assemblies and are currently test marketing new product categories to expand our franchise offering.
Industry Performance
In the United States, there were approximately 11 million replacements of radiators, condensers, and compressors last year. 1-800-Radiator & A/C makes it fast and easy to get brand new auto parts to your customers.
Operators in the Auto Parts Stores industry primarily sell new and used automotive parts and accessories, though some operators also may offer repair and installation services. Over the five years to 2019, the industry has experienced fairly stable growth. The industry benefited during the period from rising per capita disposable income levels, which enabled more consumers to spend on industry services.
Moreover, the average age of vehicles on the road is expected to grow over the five years to 2019. As vehicles become older, they require more frequent maintenance and repairs, which bolsters demand for industry products
