Ok my car started to run hot so i brought it to a mechanic and figured it cant cost more than $80 for a radiator flush and thermostat right? WRONG it is costing $325. he said the intake manifold has to come apart to get to the thermostat. I called st charles and they said its like $220 just for the labor!, I changed thermostats in my other cars befor and never delt with anything like this ..

I have 120,000 on the car and have had only a few problems with it so i guess i really cant complain but over $300 for a thermostat i think is redicolus!

just venting
