Quoted Doing the radiant with hoses and coolant and thermostat would be $2088.00 add tx and shop supplies. I would also apply a credit for $135. 00 off from the dealer. Sound excessive? They also said for Parts Radiator $484.00, Upper Hose $47.00 lower hose $44.00 Thermostat $66.00 and coolant $50.00 these are parts

Car is goin on about 110 k. First time replacing. I'm sure water pump is next.
What are y'alls thoughts on the pricing? Thanks.

I think that's Fing ridiculous. Lexus just absolutely rapes on anything and everything. I don't have them even wash my car for free, I cant stand them.

Here's the OEM radiator on Amazon

Here's the OEM fluid on Amazon

Here's the hoses from RR

Do it yourself right in their parking lot. Save yourself $1750. Water pump is another $160 on Amazon. I'm disgusted how much they charge.

Amazing how much money you can save with a few basic tools.

I can do this job in the same amount of time it takes to drive to the dealer, stand in line, talk to the service adviser and sit in their waiting area while they make a decision on how much they'll screw me.

Job is really pretty easy.

With that price you can buy a koyo radiator, oil cooler, trans cooler, radiator hoses, coolant and still have money left over. Of course if you do the labor yourself. Very easy!

I just did this myself and put the Koyo, new water pump, thermostat, silicone hoses, trans heat exchanger bypass, etc. Was about $800 in parts or so.

Man, the stars aligned for the dealer. Ive got to take the *** rape. I have the loaner, they have my car for the 115k service. I have to go out of town and need a car, so its either get mine back and drive it or take the loaner. Ofcourse I had to agree to the rape so I could take the loaner. I know for next time. I usually buy all my parts and get stuff installed, but they got me this time.

jdmek998

That is crazy amount. I bought a Koyo radiator and oem hoses for like $250. and did it myself. But yea I know the you were in a pinch to get it done. Better luck next time.

chris6878

Yea I kno now. Not gonna let them get me for the water pump
