Hello DFW

Hi there, I need a good shop or mechanic that can replace a radiator on my G35. I live in North Dallas area so I need a shop to be some where up here. Thanks in advance.

no, call and ask them.

the shop is legit, they do good work, and they can work on your slammed car as well.

I'm sure a local will do it for anywhere between 60-100 bucks

The swap is easy. The radiator itself is the main cost. An oem style aftermarket is about $190. Labor is about 75. Need to make sure the coolant system is bled really good

Thank you all for your replies. I have a slow leak near the top of the radiator's hose. The autozone guy sold me a "stop a leak" liquid. I'm trying to pour that in first and go that route before I change out the whole radiator. Do you think this is a good idea?

The tanks are plastic so there could be a crack or it may could be leaking from the tank separating from core. Stop leak is worth a shot

That's exactly what happened to mine, picked up a used oem replacement for less than 100 bucks...don't bother with stop leak it will just leak again
