Honestly, that is typically one of the easiest jobs too do yourself. It would probably take you 30 minutes. Drain coolant at the bottom plug, Unplug 2-3 hoses, 4 bolts holding it in, pull the old one out, and then go in reverse. Fill up with coolant. Shop will probably charge you $500 if I had to guess depending on the cost of the radiator

Just buy the radiator from auto zone, few hand tools and an hour.
I've done it so it can't be that hard
What vehicle?

I repaired one many years back but had to take the radiator to a shop for repair and pressure tested. A place on Donmoor.

K & M Automotive on Siegen was always my go to when we lived in BR. As honest/reliable as it gets.

If it can hold out for a few days, order it on rockauto as it will be much cheaper than any local auto store. Also make sure you take precise measurements, as a lot of aftermarket ones are thinner. I just did a radiator change a month ago. Had to do this one fairly quick and couldn't wait for rockauto, but found a reasonable price via Napa online ship to store the next day. YouTube to see where/what size the bolts are and where the bleed port(s) is/are. If you can do brakes, you can do a radiator.

Agreed. But I did have one bolt kick my arse. There's always that one

It is easy. Had a busted radiator I discovered at the texas welcome center on I 20. Drove to auto part store and bought radiator and two tools. Back on the road in about 2 hrs.

I would say go to pull apart in port allen and do it in your driveway.

It was for my daughter’s car. I’m out of town. Turns out it was still under warranty. Thanks everyone
