Business History

An overview on how we’ve evolved over the last 60 years of business, including acquisitions and partnerships.

Over the last 20

years, we’ve

partnered with

rad shops across Canada.

Since 2016, our core focus has been growth through business acquisition as well as recruitment. At that time, our business transitioned to the ownership of Wayne and Justin Feeleus while also implementing a pivotal ERP system now used across the organization.

  My car had a flat tire outside of their business and Rhonda (I believe that’s her name!) saw me outside crying and took me to their shop to get a technician to help me. I didn’t get the technicians name but he was so comforting and was calming me down. When I went inside, nobody questioned me and they acted like helping a random strange was a normal everyday thing which helped in a distressing moment for me. The employees here are so selfless and after my car was done they even invited me in for tea and coffee. The way they treated a total stranger not giving them business says a lot about their company and I wish I had a reason to shop there cause I imagine they treat their customers even better.

  Wow. What else could I say. I’d give 10 stars if possible. From my first call to final solution everything was spot on.
Will use this shop again if I get to Winnipeg and need repairs.
Thanks very much for a wonderful experience.

  We have used West End Radiator a number of times. They have been very friendly and helpful. Their service is right on, couldn't ask for anything better. We will use them again when we need their service. We would recommend them to anyone.
