How much would you think it would cost to replace a radiator? Any idea of how many hours? I was charged $239.99 for the radiator, $109.99 for "Coolant Fuid Exchange" and 52 (FIFTY TWO!) HOURS OF LABOR!!!!!!!! Seems a little excessive.

Were they wearing masks?

It does really seem excessive!

Someone spent a week and a couple of days, replacing your radiator...What dedication!...Did you commend them for their actions?

What was their total take?

Are you now their main advertising source?

Maybe a TYPE O?

On my CJ---trips to parts house and all, I can change mine out completely--and Hoses in less than 4 hours....really more like 3!!!

ALL PARTS AND FLUIDS....Less than $260.00...Of course, my labor is Free!....did this about 1-1/2 years ago on my CJ...and have done it many times before on mine and others.

I would definitly protest this....Unless Labor was $2.00 an hour.

I might even be one of those guys standing near the shop, wearing a poster on my back and belly!
