I didn't think it got that cold there. As far as the freeze plug, the part is cheap, under 3.00. However, the I can't tell you the labor cost. It is based on location of the plug. If it is an easy one to access, it shouldn't take more than.75 hour. If a difficult, it could take several hours to access. Don't forget you will need coolant. Make sure to have a 50% water and 50% coolant mixture. That way it won't freeze until -45 °F

Let me know if you have other questions.
