History
Stine’s Radiator first started in 1941 when Max Stine opened up a shop 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 family moved the business 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 himself in the position to acquire the business from Mert. Then in 1988, Jeff purchased the property where Stine’s Radiator is currently located- at 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, but 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 Stine’s Radiator.
