How much does it cost to replace a car radiator?

My car has a cracked radiator and I’m probably going to get it replaced, but I’m not sure how much that’s going to cost. How much do they usually charge to replace a car’s radiator?

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that your radiator is cracked! You should definitely get it replaced as soon as possible – driving with a cracked radiator can lead to overheating which causes all sorts of problems. As for the cost, it’s going to vary a lot depending on the make/model of your car and what mechanic you use. Usually, it will cost $300 to $900 to replace a car radiator for parts and labor.
It’s always a good idea to compare quotes from multiple mechanics before deciding on one.
