Radiator Repair should equal about how much?

[q45sound]

I'm about to get my 1990 Infiniti Q45 radiator taken out and put a new one in cause the other on has a crack and is leaking anti-freeze. About how much should this cost me, like MAX. ??? and MIN. ??? thanks for the insight.

I'd say one hour labor, assuming they don't replace hoses or flush the system. It's pretty simple - disconnect hoses, lift out, insert new one.

I also dont want to get screwed over with the money.

[q45sound]

so maybe about a good $200 or more.

Depends on the part you (they) buy. A factory part is probably $3-400 from one of our wholesale sponsors. A cheap one (less efficient and made of steel) might go for $1-200.

Thanks for the insight now I'll know that if they try any funny stuff (which really wont be funny) I'll know that they're full of ish. Thanks.

Should proabbly replace all rubber connecting hoses and the lower sacrifical anode coupler.

Thermostat, radiator cap, and distilled water only with new coolant.

Will you open the heater core to flush the old coolant completely?

Seems like years ago I was able to take the radiator out of my Ford Torino when it leaked, carry it to a radiator shop and they fixed it for like $20. I don't recall all the details.
