How much is a radiator replacement?
It depends on the vehicle and the part. I diagnose first, then quote parts and labour. Start with a CA$70 mobile diagnostic if you’re not sure where the leak is.

A real job: Ram pickup radiator
The photo at the top is a real radiator replacement on a Ram pickup, done in a parking lot: old radiator out, new one unboxed and ready to go in.
When a shop is the better option
Head-gasket failures and water pumps buried behind timing components usually need a shop. If the diagnosis points there, I tell you honestly.

FAQ
Questions about cooling system & radiator repair
Can I drive an overheating car?
No. Pull over, turn the engine off and let it cool. Driving while overheating can damage the engine.
Can I top up with water?
In an emergency, water can get you somewhere safe, but the system needs the correct coolant. Never open a hot radiator cap.
Can you replace a radiator in my driveway?
On many vehicles, yes. I drain, replace and refill the system where the car is parked.
