Sorry to hear that... there's something else going on there to cause them to break up like that...

Anyway, I have 3 words for you... Taurus Electric Fan

You can get one from a junkyard for about $30 and install it with the controls for less than $100 total.

Ummm, buying a battery is hardly a catatrophe.

$550 for a radiator is highway robbery. I got my replacement for $220 installed with a lifetime warranty.

At least they took care of you (this time)

Find another shop.

:pat: Your mechanic doesn't even lube you first! Yes, pun intended... Time for you to start doing your own work bro. He's robbing you blind man A radiator should cost you no more than 200, fan clutch... junkyard or 125 max, battery 70, starter, rebuild it! maybe 20 bucks in parts. Get a new mechanic or get it done yourself

Another vote for the taurus electric fan...

Or see if he's going to cover the costs. He's the one who installed the fan clutch right? Alot of shops guarantee their work, so I would definately bring this up to him.

And after you're through with him, kick him to the curb and find a reputable mechanic.

WTF is right

Your mechanics gotta go. This should not be happening. I wonder if hes tightening up the belt way too much . He should be replacing these new occurences as well. Then find a new mechanic.
