  Most shops will not install cutomer supplied parts, they may profit on both parts and labor. If a shop realy needs work they might, other wise they will likley charge more labor. Dont recommend shops that realy need work.

  typically around 100-200 for labor and recapute of the fluid, you just wont get the shop warranty, for them "buying" the part.

  We would install your part but would not warranty the part or labor. Charge would be $250+. Don't forget potential hoses and antifreeze/coolant. We would be happy to inspect your vehicle and provide an all inclusive estimate for your radiator and related items that would include a 12 month warranty.
