Radiator replacement for most passenger vehicles costs $500-$1,000 including parts and labor. Trucks and SUVs can cost more due to larger radiators and additional components.
Most manufacturers recommend a coolant flush every 2 to 5 years or 50,000 to 100,000 km. Long-life coolants may have extended intervals—check your owner's manual.
Only in an emergency. Water alone doesn't provide freeze protection in Canadian winters, corrosion inhibitors, or the proper boiling point elevation. Always use the correct coolant mixture.
Immediately turn off the AC and turn the heater on full blast to help dissipate engine heat. Pull over safely, turn off the engine, and do not open the hood until it cools. Call for a tow to the nearest repair shop.
