The last time I drove my car about 12miles I had some steam coming off radiator. Engine temp normal
after cooling, & removing radiator cap coolant loss was neglegible.

I've had it looked at today by a shop. Estimating
repacement cost of over $400 for raditator and the two hoses. I've looked up a radiator for it on line for $129.00 are they overcharging for labor?

Hi Shops charge more for part than you can by helps defray overhead like you can by a T-Bone for 1/4 of what it costs in resturant. Labor is 2 hrs so if shop charges $100 hr which is lower than national average thats $200 + radiator+2 hoses+ clamps+ antifreeze $400 not that unresonable.
Hope this helps
