How much will it cost to fix the thermostat in my car?

Last week my car's air system started malfunctioning. After I set my car to a comfortable temperature it began dropping to a low temperature then suddenly spiked to high heat. I just have collision coverage, so I’ll have to pay out of pocket for repairs. How much will it cost to fix the thermostat in my car?

I’m sorry to hear your thermostat is on the fritz. You can expect to pay between $140 and $300 for a professional mechanic to replace the thermostat in your vehicle.
Most thermostats cost $20 to $80, but you’ll have to pay additional labor fees to have your thermostat replaced by a professional. Depending on the shop you go to, labor can cost between $65 and $100 per hour, so call ahead to
