My engine pours out coollant/water and I had problem diagnosed as the heater core by a general automotive repair shop est. ($500-$800). I read about the bypass option. In either case....my question is where should I take it to be fixed at the BEST price?
1. a general auto repair shop.( not the dealership... $900+ Yiikes!)
2. a radiator shop
3. heating & cooling specialist shop

Thanks

lowest bidder that has a good reputation! would probably be the individual mechanic.
