My car was overheating and leaking antifreeze. The repair shop has indicated that the radiator neck is broken because the mounts are weak causing the engine to move and pull on the hose/neck of the radiator. They have quoted $1208 to replace the radiator and remount the transmission/engine and install new insulators - four of them - for a total cost of $653 for parts and $504 for labor. Does this sound right?

$500 labor is reasonable, for 8.5 hours of labor. But call around, get a few other quotes. When calling ask about bringing your own part and just have them to install. You will save some money buy buying your own parts. Just keep in mind, some shops won't install your parts. They want you to buy from them, for warranty purposes.
