This year marks a big achievement for Stines Radiator we have been in business for 85 years. Established by Max Stine back in 1941 the business started on south Potomac st. His brother Mert Stine soon started working there a few years later along with other family members and employees. In the early 1950's the business was moved to 644 west washington st. In 1963 Max passed away and Mert took over the business the next year. Mert's son Jeff Stine started helping in the shop when he was old enough. Quickly learning the trade Jeff found his self in the position to take over the business from mert, and in 1988 Jeff purchased the property where Stines Radiator is currently at on 241 N. Burhans Blvd. Jeff's nephew Wesley started working at the shop like the family members before him and started learning the radiator trade. Tragically on June 6, 2010 Jeff Stine was killed in an automobile accident. The family wanted to keep the business going so with the help of Mert, Wesley took over the business several months latter and is the current owner of Stines Radiator. The radiator repair trade is a dieing art that I am proud to keep it going for as long as I can and honor my passed relatives that ran this business especially my uncle Jeff I would not be where I am today without his guidance. I would like to thank all the past, present and future customers that put your trust in Stines Radiator and to everyone else that has supported the business over the years. With your help we will be here many more years.
