In 1975, Contra Costa Radiator, Inc became the reality of Rick Frampton s dream to own a radiator shop. As the business has grown from it s 1200 sq ft shop with one employee to it s present 6, 000 sq ft shop with outside work area and 9 employees, it s commitment to the customer and quality of the product sold has never waivered. In 1983 Rick married Karen Frampton and they became working partners. Then in 1995, the company was reformed into a corporation and named Karen Frampton as it s president. Rick s cooling system experience combined with Karen s financial background has made Contra Costa Radiator one of the premier shops in Northern California. Contra Costa Radiator is diversified.
