| - I need to give these guys a review for all the help they have provided me over the past month. I needed to get my battery replaced, no biggie, knocked that out. That was just the start..
My radiator blew driving home last weekend....sucked. Looked online and saw the repair job could be anywhere between 500-900 dollars, I looked up some videos and decided to give it a shot. I'm not a mechanic and have only changed tires and my oil, not much else.
Got the radiator from Auto Zone with some help from their associates. Asked a couple questions since I had little knowledge of auto mechanics. They took their time and answered all my questions which gave me extra confidence going into the job. Four hours later, radiator is taken out, fans attached, made a mess, and everything installed back in. Extremely excited I started it up, burped the thing and everything looked great! Not really...
Drove to work the next day and it was overheating! WTF!! When I got to work, I popped the hood and saw some hoses were leaking, smoke was coming from somewhere I couldn't see but during my investigation there was some crude under one of the lower hoses which looked like it had been leaking A LONG time. (bought used. probably before I even owned it) Looked online again.
Found that my model, Hyundai Elantra, have overheating problems and could be the thermostat. Went to auto zone, got the thermostat, gasket, lower and upper radiator hoses, bypass hose, antifreeze and new clamps. Now this is my 4th trip and were pretty much family now. They had all my parts except one but called another store for me and had them set it aside. Really friendly, helpful and honest workers. Spent under 375.00 on my parts, zero in labor and gained a lot of knowledge. Much appreciated
