Radiator Replacement Cost

So after 320,000 plus miles of service, my radiator has finally decided to start leaking. It seems like a pretty easy job to replace, but I don't have the time or space to do the work myself right now. So what am I looking at, cost wise, if I go to a garage to have this done? Has anyone else had a radiator replace recently?

 

Perhaps post in your regional forum.

Labor rates very so much across the country.

Some shops charge extra to install customer supplied parts.

Do you plan on including new coolant and new hoses as well ??

 

So easy do it yourself. It always costs more than they say. Do it in the Walmart parking lot.

 

$150-200 New aftermarket radiator. Try to buy local so you can trade in your old one for credit. Price will vary depending on brand.
$50 Toyota Long Life Coolant (red or pink in color). Pre-diluted is easiest. 3RZ takes about 8.8 quarts according to the manual. I would buy 2 gallons because it won't all empty out from the engine. If you have green coolant you need to stick with it or do a complete flush with distilled water before adding red.
$70 New upper and lower radiator hoses. May not be required, but this is a good time to do it. Squeeze the hoses and see if they're soft and inspect for cracks. Reuse factory clamps or buy new from Toyota.

It's a good DIY, just watch a YouTube video.
$10 new radiator cap. Many new radiators don't come with this important piece.
