The cost of a new thermostat can vary greatly depending on the type of car you have, where you live, and whether you do the repair yourself or take it to a mechanic.
Assuming the car in question is a midsize or compact car instead of a luxury car, the cost of the thermostat itself can run between $20-$80. If you plan on making the repairs yourself, that isn’t too bad!
If you need to have the repairs completed at a dealership or repair shop, we will need to account for the labor time. Replacing a thermostat should take under two hours and mechanics can charge around $100 per hour.
Plan to spend around $300 to get your car back on the road.
