Valid question…I was desperate. I learned to be patient and take time to get it done right. In retrospect, I could’ve actually bought a $60 radiator locally and DIY’d, but I was a noob to doing my own stuff, so didn’t want to chance it.

Ok, not a parts person but…it’s worth adding: Got quoted well over $300.00 (not even including labor, so more like 450-500) for a radiator on my 2000 Jeep Wrangler.

I called BS asking if it was made of 24k gold or something???

They were trying to install a top of the line performance part…this being a Firestone location, I didn’t walk away…I SPRINTED as fast as possible.

Got it done elsewhere for 1/3 of that.
