1-800 RADIATOR & A/C, Announces Biggest Sales Week Ever

Plus Kicks off Its Annual 4th of July Sale

BENICIA, Calif., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers may be cutting corners in
this economy but apparently not when it comes to repairing their cars. Today,
1-800 RADIATOR announced its biggest week ever with sales topping $5 million,
an indicator that car owners are fixing their cars rather than buying new
ones.

During this economic downturn it is even more important for people to take
care of their cars, and make necessary repairs or replacements as opposed to
buying new vehicles. "Our customers are certainly watching their dollars like
everyone else. When making decisions about their cars, they need to get the
right part, right away," says Mike Rippey, CEO of 1-800 RADIATOR. "We
guarantee quality parts, delivered to your doorstep at competitive prices with
a nationwide lifetime warranty coverage."

With the Fourth of July weekend looming, many will choose to take their summer
vacation on the road. 1-800 RADIATOR wants to support all holiday travelers
with special holiday pricing. If you are in need of a radiator over the
holiday weekend, 1-800 RADIATOR will be offering heavy discounts for all
customers. "In the unfortunate event you have cooling problems over the
holiday weekend, we want to make sure we get you back on the road as fast as
possible," says Mike Rippey.

1-800 RADIATOR says its success comes from the strength of the franchise
network and its owners. The locally owned and operated 1-800 RADIATOR shops
offer the highest quality aftermarket products and free overnight shipping to
anywhere in the continental U.S. 1-800 RADIATOR also has the largest inventory
