new hose?

[Blue_eyes]

I have a slight leak and I think it may be my radiator hose. Does anyone have an idea about what it would cost to have my hoses changed?

What kinda car is it. Is it upper or lower hose. Hose replacement is so simple its almost murphy proof but I guess it depends on the type of vehicle and location of the hose.

It's a very simple job but I wouldn't recommend for someone that knows nothing about cars....You'll have to drain the radiator...Don't do it after driving it...Let it sit for a while...Some of those bottom hoises can be tricky to get to...Depending on the car, it shouldn't be too much...Some are very easy and some are not..

Plus some cars have the nipple on the thermostat housing that you need to bleed the air out of the system once the replacement is done and fluids refilled.

If your vehicle is getting up in years and it hasn't been done yet I would recommend getting them all changed. Call around and get estimates.
