About Us

Family Business

In 1972, Victor Cicero was working as a mechanic. He had just moved to Clearwater from Connecticut and was finding great success in his role, but he wanted to create something different. So, shortly after Victor Cicero made the leap and successfully completed his goal of opening a Full-Service auto repair shop in the heart of downtown Clearwater, FL. This goal was to offer superb auto repair at the most affordable price, with 100% customer satisfaction. Something he felt was quite lacking in this industry. Without a doubt, he has met and exceeded all expectations of this goal and it continues to this day.

Our Company

Concurrently while expanding Clearwater Radiator, Victor was fortunate enough to employ Mike Little. What's more, they have over 70 years of combined experience & expertise in the automotive field. Soon after they came together Mike began to manage the shop. Following this, the Countryside location was opened in 1991, which Mike has been managing since opening day. Furthermore, as all of our customers will attest to, Mike is an honest, hardworking, and dedicated manager. His customers become his loyal lifetime customers after a first-time visit.

I have been a customer of Clearwater Radiator for over 6 years now. No matter what issues I've thrown at them they have always come through, and at a much more reasonable price than elsewhere. Mike is always honest, reliable and quick with repairs. I recommend this shop to all my friends and will continue being a customer for years to come.

Mike is very honest and explains everything to you. For women who are concerned about getting ripped off, this will not happen at Clearwater radiator. Look for the red fire truck on his property.

Great work! Saved me a ton of money. The dealership wanted to charge me a fortune to fix my air conditioning. He got the job done quickly and a great price. Very informative and great customer service. Thank you!

Fantastic shop. Highly recommended. They explained what could potentially be the problem with great depth and also explained what they did to fix it. Not only is my car now working perfectly, but I also learned a lot too.
