Aftermarket Daily News 8 3 Tuesday, October 31, 2017 Radiator Supply House: Custom Cooling, Quality Solutions Will and Ryan Garrett, co-Owners of Radiator Supply House in Sweet Home, Oregon, are committed to serving their customers by providing quality products, dependable support and unmatched cus- tomer service. Born and raised in the radiator busi- ness, Will and Ryan learned everything there is to know from their father, Mitch Garrett, who began his work in the radia- tor business in 1976. Mitch opened his own radiator shop in 1998 and quickly became well known for his knowledge and expertise in radiators. By 2003, Will and Ryan opened Radiator Supply House, which is now a complete manufacturing facility for all metal replacement radiators, oil coolers and charge air coolers. Radiator Supply House also has over 10,000 units in stock, including radiators, charge air coolers, A/C condensers and shrouds for auto, truck, agriculture, refuse, construc- tion, RV and performance applications. Additionally, the on-site manufactur- ing facility allows the guys at Radiator Supply House to fabricate custom units tailored to each customer's specific needs. With a wide range of products, the ability to ship worldwide and the power to create custom units for any application, Radiator Supply House has the capability to provide infinite cooling solutions to solve all of your cooling problems. Over the past 14 years, Radiator Supply House has exhibited consistent growth, and as a result, the company was recently able to move into its new facili- ty at 1460 47th Ave, just a few blocks from its original site. According to Wes Collins, Director of Sales and Marketing, "In the past year, the business has exploded. The number of employees has jumped from 22 to over 40. Our new site is located on 12 acres and offers twice the space. With the move, our hope is to continue to improve the lead time between when an order is placed and when it is completed." The ultimate goal is to have a 48-hour turnaround time. In 2016, Radiator Supply House unleashed Icebox Performance, which takes custom fabrication and cooling to the next level by handcrafting each piece in house to the customer's specific appli- cation. From drag trucks to pull trucks, street rods to rat rods, semi truck diesel conversions to UTV upgrades; if you can dream it, the company can build it. Radiator Supply House also works closely with several reality shows, pro- viding one of a kind cooling units that help complete their wide range of unique projects. Graveyard Carz, an American automotive reality TV show based out of Springfield, Oregon, restores late 1960s and early 1970s Mopar muscle cars, incorporating radia- tors restored at Radiator Supply House. Diesel Brothers, another popular automo- tive reality show that follows the DieselSellerz and their custom diesel projects, calls upon Radiator Supply House on a regular basis to create custom cooling units for their many diesel restorations and creations. These are definitely exciting times for Will, Ryan and the whole crew. Give Radiator Supply House a call and let the company know what it can build for you!

Proline Makes Semi Hood Removal Easy Following the success of its pickup bed removal attachment for the Lift King, Proline Tool & Supply came out with another product that has assisted in trans- forming fleet maintenance forever. This product is an attachment for removing semi hoods that can also be used with its existing lift. If you already own the Lift King, then all it takes is the purchase of the semi hood attachment to convert your existing bed removal lift into a tool that will be able to remove semi hoods. The conversion process is done by removing a couple of pins and adding the new attachment, which can be done in a mat- ter of minutes. ProLine saw a need for this attach- ment and it is quickly becoming one of the company's best sellers. The fact that you will no longer need to struggle when removing hoods will offer more shop efficiency and keep the technician using the lift safe while completing this process. Another great feature of this attachment is that the semi hood can be removed with or without the grill installed. When the removal process is done, it is rec- ommended that you pur- chase one of the compa- ny's semi hood dollies to set the hood on once removed. This will allow you to move the hood throughout the shop with ease, freeing up the lift for use on the next job. Most people working in high-vol- ume service shops or collision shops will purchase multiple units to help keep each of their technicians safe and injury free. Like most shop owners, floor space is at a premium, but the lift only requires a 3 by 3 square foot storage space when folded and not in use. The lift does not require electrical power and it is not hydraulic. It only requires the power of a techni- cian to use it. Visit ProLine Tool & Supply at booth #16607.

Crash Point Systems Makes Auto Estimating Easier Crash Point makes taking photographs for estimating and appraisal on a vehicle much quicker and less problematic than ever before. "It is my strong belief this tool pro- vides education through communica- tion," says Justin Forkuo, the creator of Crash Point Systems. He developed this tool while seeking better methods for vehicle appraisal, than what is currently available, by forming a standard process for taking photographs. This resulted in the creation of a simple device designed with maximum efficiency in mind. Its one-handed ambidextrous design allows for greater mobility. The lightweight durable plas- tic polymer reduces fatigue, and resists wear during heavy usage. The five 'wands' are color-coded and use known industry terms to relay accurate infor- mation to all personnel involved in the repair process. Being a touchless method, there's no need to write or attach anything on the vehicle's surface – reducing prep work. The tool also aids those who have diffi- culty taking good pictures. "It's almost a natural tool we use in our shop when taking estimate photos," says Gerald McNee, Owner of Ultimate Collision Repair in New Jersey who is one of the early adopters of Crash Point Systems. "The assorted colors make it easier to indicate exactly what needs to be done in the photos instead of second guessing it later when writing the esti- mate." Water Transfer Printing Technology Revolutionizes Automotive Restyling Industry Water Transfer Printing is an innova- tive coating technology that allows you to transfer unique designs onto complex 3-dimensional objects. TWN Industries, Inc. is the pioneer of Water Transfer Printing technology. The technology is used to process car dashboards in luxurious wood grains, custom wheels in intricate designer patterns, engine components in realis- tic carbon fiber designs and much more. The benefits of this process are profound. Water Transfer Printing is not a vinyl wrap. It is an ink-transfer process that utilizes water displacement to wrap around 3-dimensional objects with ease. The Water Transfer Printing Process at a glance: 1. apply base coat.; 2. process part using Water Transfer Printing film and activator; 3. rinse thoroughly; and 4. apply clear coat.
