Default Radiator replacement story.

Recently my radiator start leaking. It sounds crazy, because my car has only 39k miles. So anyways I decided to share this info with you. Dealer wants $671 for Radiator, around $600 in labor and 2 gallons of OEM antifreeze is $46.

So I shopped around and found aftermarket radiator with LIFETIME warranty for $240. Labor normally any between $100-$250. This place charged me $450 including two hoses, radiator, and labor.

If you need radiator:

That's steep!

I could fly your mechanic to MD put him up in a hotel and still have it done for less then what the dealer charges. LOL
