Where to get a cheap radiator?

[professionaldude]

Hi! I need to replace a radiator on Altima 96. Canadian tire quoted me $350, which is a lot as compared to vehicle. I was wondering if there is any cheap auto parts shop here in Toronto. I am not looking for an online auto parts store.
Any help will be appreciated.
thx

Run away from Canadian tire..
Get the yellowpages (yellowpages.ca) and call a few places around in scarborough.. Some places claim to have quality parts, others seem shady..

I expect, somewhere around $120-150 for parts, 60-ish installation, and another 40-50 for fill-up..

Call 416-288-9711 Hideo Auto (Eglington & Warden). I got mine done around $350 (parts & labours).

Don't walk....RUN from Canadian Tire. Unless of course you happen to like throwing money away on things that do not need to be replaced. They make Wall street executives look like saints.
