radiator repair

[bigbadchev84]

i got a small pin hole leak that leaks a good amount of antifreeze when warmed up, what is the best way to go about fixing it? i refuse to go to the only radiator shop in town because i wil not support his business, he is a ripoff. so what is the best solution to my prob? it is in the top corner and is one of the cooling tubes that runs side to side. thanks

You could just mail order a radiator, then send your core back to them after the install. It's an extreme option, but it's an option.

if it is small i would use bars leak i used it the other day with good results. It is also cheap

Then again, Kennewick is about a half-hour away, and they're bound to have a shop or two that can patch the leak. You could pull the rad, take it to Kennewick in another vehicle, get it fixed, bring it back, and install.
