Re: 95 Corolla Radiator Repair?
It's an easy job to do yourself, or take the rebuilt one from Autozone
down to the local high school, give it to the automotive shop teacher
(assuming they have one) and let the class do it. Or find some kid in
your neighborhood who likes to work on cars and give him 50 bucks to do
it. That price you were quoted is a total rip-off.
