How much does it cost to replace the radiator in my car?
My mechanic says I need to replace the radiator in my car—he tried flushing it out first but that didn’t work. Can you tell me how much it will cost to replace the radiator in my car?

How much it will cost to replace the radiator in a car depends on several factors, but the national average for replacing a radiator is around $1,000. Do not continue to drive your car if you have a bad radiator. If you do, you run the risk of damaging your engine.
The radiator works to cool your engine. If it’s not functioning, your engine can overheat, which can cause a blown head gasket and a dead car.
Replacing a radiator yourself is possible if you have some car repair experience, the correct tools, and some patience. However, if your automotive experience is limited to filling up your gas tank, this is not a job for you.
