What would in your expert opinion be on cost by a certified Tech for a radiator flush/refill/pressure test for this type of vehicle? Gotten quotes of $69.99-$270.00. Thanks

Hi,

This is a really simple vehicle to work on. As far as the drain and flush, I can't imagine it being more than $150.00. Also, pressure testing shouldn't take more than 30 minutes.

You could do it yourself. It isn't hard to do. First, here is a link that shows how to service the cooling system (drain and flush).

As far as pressure testing for a leak, here is a link that shows how that is done. You will need a pressure tester, but most parts stores will lend you one free of charge.

Let me know if I can help.

Take care,

Joe
