How much does it cost to fix a radiator crack do they repair the crack or replace the whole radiator? How do I keep it cool until I have the money to fix it? last time I got an oil change they quoted me about 200.00 does that sound right? and how often do you get a tune up? trying a new auto place since I felt ripped off by the last one I had alot of work done at.

$200 is pretty cheap to replace a radiator (assuming they are replacing it).

Due to the age of the vehicle, it's hard to say if you need a tune-up or not. If you have the factory timing belt, it needs to be changed, ignition items are roughly every 40,000mi (depends on what type of plugs are being used).
