| 4 Cylinder 2000 Camry was slowly bleeding fluid out of some 3 inch cracks at the very top of the radiator. Replaced with $75 CryoMax radiator made in Taiwan (pick-up cash price) from Hu at Radiator Depot, (858) 292-4998, 7030 Convoy Ct, San Diego 92111, same one that 1-800-Radiator sells for over $150 delivered. My Mobile Tuneup mechanic did all the work in my driveway in under an hour and charged me just $85. Plus about $5 for the Peak 50/50 antifreeze from Walmart and another $2.25 for a couple of radiator hose clamps from Kragen. |

| Charged $462 for radiator and 3 hrs of labor at $105/hr and $20.00 for coolant. Radiator was not genuine Suzuki radiator. Manufacture radiator cost $668 and I only have a 6 month warranty. Feel stupid because online prices are $120-229 for radiator. |

| I recently had to get my radiator replaced since it had a crack and all the anti freeze leaked out. I took it to a local shop where they took great care of it. It was only $150 total for both parts and labor. Plus it came with a 1 year 30day labor warranty. I think I lucked out finding this place because I called other local places and I got quotes ranging from 300+ My best advice would be call as much mechanic shops possible to compare pricing. Usually dealerships are pricey but if you can find a "mom and pop shop" (Family or privately owned business) you will get a much better deal. |

| Auto Shop: Super Tech Service Center |
Radiator- $205 %60 markup (should be about $125)
Thermostat- $24 %90 to %100 markup (should be $12)
Lower Hose- $28.50 %63 markup (should be $16)
Antifreeze- $30 %250 markup (should be about $12)
Labor- $225
The only positive thing is they started working on my car right away and I got it back the same day. I need my car so the extra money is worth it, I guess. Just hate getting screwed on the markup of the parts and I don't know enough about what certain parts should actually cost. They always got me by the balls (so to speak).... |

| My local mechanic replaced the leaking radiator off my camry. Charged $145 for radiator, $25 coolant and 2hrs labor $80/hr. The 3 inch crack on the top of the radiator causing the leak. The cool thing is before the repair, he pressurised the radiator system with water to demonstrate the leak. 1 year limited warranty for the parts. |

| Auto Shop: AAA Columbia, SC |
| My car ran hot as traveling to Columbia, SC on a Sunday. Left the car in Columbia til Tues. Took it to AAA on Forest Dr. They said I had a busted bottom and top hose, and they would have to do a radiator flush and put in a new thermostat. After that they came and told me I also needed a new radiator. The labor came to almost $398, and the parts were a little over $450. I think they price gouged me. I told the guy thats too much and I want to pay $750, but he wasn't hearing me. Why is mine so high compared to the other postings? |

Called him at 10PM on a Saturday night and he was at my place Sunday at 9AM. Drained the coolant, replaced the radiator with a brand new one, filled with new coolant and water.
Paid cash. No expressed warranty but I've been going to him for a couple of years now and have met his family so I feel like he'll back his work. |

Was informed by phone that the tension assembly was faulty and was chewing a belt up and was being replaced. That taked on another $79 without tax. Said it was a necessary repair as it would have to fixed eventually anyway or the car would still overheat. Was giving a reduction on part and labor costs. |

Initially they said it would cost $275 but at the end they charged $350 saying that it took time to do pressure test and spent more time than expected.
But less cost compared to other shops in this area. |

| OUCH... They tried to charge me $525.00 for an OEM radiator. It retails over the counter for $429.00 from local BMW shop. I complained about mark up and they dropped the price $75.00. The bill would have been $940. Fast service, had car ready by end of the day without an appointment. Good lesson learned, I will always ask how much the mark up will be on parts before agreeing on the repair. |

| Estimate for replacing radiator and water pump! Told me the timing chain was contaminated and needed to be replaced as well. Pulled the truck out and went to a reputable shop. I'd avoid these folks at all costs! After questioning them about the timing chain, they backpedaled and said it would probably be OK. Ended up spending $1300. |

| Car overheated and took it in. I was quoted for 800. I called around and got otherquotes for new radiator and radiator hose. I found one for 400 and midas then matched that. One minute its 800 then the next its 400. Dont go to midas. new radiator is 120 online and hose is 40. 100/hr labor. Dont believe their first offer. Tell them your going somewhere else and they will usually go down |

| Tires plus wanted like 680. Joyce gave me less. I guess I could have saved another 200. I should have done better. But I guess they did a decent job. 1aauto had the part for like 125 and I'm sure I could have found someone to do it through craigslist. |

| Broke down, then had my SUV towed to local mechanic shop not dealer. They charged me $706.00 for new radiator, hoses, flush, and thermostat. Was that a good price? I don't know anything about engines and what-not. It took less than 3 hrs to fix it and get it back to me. I was relieved about that. I hate being stranded. |

| I bought a used radiator for my explorer. To remove it, took about 5 minutes. 2 clamps for hoses, 2 bolts for the shroud, 2 bolts that hold the radiator on (all bolts are 10 mm I believe)\r\nand 2 transmission lines (5/8 inch wrench worked)\r\nThen I spent 11.99 on antifreeze after flushing the engine and radiator. |

| Steam started coming out of my car, and the temp gauge started rising. I parked the car right away, towed it to Joe\'s the next morning. He replaced the radiator, hoses, thermostat, and filled up the coolant all by 2pm. I probably could\'ve paid less elsewhere, but I know they always do the job right. Labor was $325. The radiator was $120 for the part. |
