Hello and thank you for using 2CarPros. But unfortunately we can not give you an estimate on repairs since every shop has their set hourly rate. Also you have multiple fault code's that need diagnosing. At minimum your looking at 3 hours diagnostic.

For example the cooling system code. If an auto parts store pulled that code they would sell you a thermostat when in reality a low coolant level will set that code. Why are you low? A leaking water outlet housing which is common, a leaking radiator? A leaking water pump? Are you going with dealer parts or off brand parts? Too many factors in this equation.

My recommendation for you is to get it diagnosed and shop around your local shops for the best deal. But remember, cheap does not guarantee a proper repair. Also look up reviews for the shop you plan on using. I am sorry we could not give you the answer you were looking for but the first thing you really need to do is get your vehicle diagnosed properly and proceed from there. If you have any doubts then let us know what was recommended off those codes to better give you a second opinion.
