Our story
A neighborhood shop that knows cooling and climate
Back-of-the-Yards Cool Heat, Inc. is an established automotive repair shop in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. The company was founded in 1982 and is led by president Jose Diaz.
From the start the shop has specialized in vehicle climate control and radiator services: auto air conditioning equipment service and repair, radiator maintenance, and heating diagnostics.
We also take care of the everyday work that keeps a car running, including oil changes and general automotive mechanics, so one trusted shop on 47th Street can look after the whole car.
Chicago asks a lot of a vehicle, from humid summers to deep freezes. Our job is to make sure your A/C, heater and cooling system are ready for both.
