Default Trusted Radiator shop - Vancouver

My upper rad is leaking (see thread Click me). I need to know if any of you local guys can recommend a good shop to do the install for the replacement part I will be ordering. If I had the space, time and tools I would do it myself or get my buddies who are techs to do it, but they are not in Vancouver for sometime.

I do have a sense of urgency to this as it is my main means of transportation.

Thanks,

Mo

its plastic, you cant fix it. just buy a replacement. koyo makes a nice oem one. its not the fins that are leaking, you can get those fixed via aluminum weld, but it looks like your top rad cap is leaking.

replacement is relatively easy. 1 to 2hrs tops, you will just need to reconnect your tranny lines, remove fan, and top up coolant afterwards.

yeah, I already ordered a KOYORAD with some hoses yesterday. Gonna have it done next week as I wait for parts. Until then the car is not going anywhere and I'll tow it to the shop.
