Default Radiator brand experience???

A Buick buddy of mine asked if I would post a link to this radiator brand

http://www.alumitechreproductions.com/

and ask if anyone has any experience with it or knowledge of it. Thanks for any input you may have.

I don't think you are supposed to post non supporting vendor links.

I once owned an insurance agency. I hired this guy and spent 3 years teaching him everything about insurance...........he opened an insurance agency one block down the street from me.....behind my back.

Karma's a b****! He will get his one day.

Dewitt's.

Very pleased with their quality of service and products.
I have purchased 2 radiators from them for 2 different corvettes. Perfect fit each time.

I would hesitate to make a purchase from a website with such atrocious spelling and grammar. That lack of attention to detail fails to give me a good feeling about product quality.

Price and quality is only part of a good company. Service after the sale is just as important. Tom has always been outstanding.

That's what I'm thinking. If he's charging the same cheddar then why would I use him over someone that's proven?
