Heater Core Replacement Cost

"What does a heater core replacement cost?" This is one of the first questions asked by individuals who are facing their first heater core failure. Sadly, the answer to that question can be a rude awakening for anyone who is inexperienced in this particular problem. 

Most new heater cores cost less than $50 if you buy from automotive parts stores such as AutoZone or other local auto parts stores. You can often find even better deals using online parts stores. You can generally expect to pay considerably more if you buy your heater core at the local automotive dealer.

Unfortunately, the cost of the heater core is only a small part of the total cost of a heater core replacement.  Replacing a heater core takes several hours of labor. The added cost of the labor, shop expendables, taxes, etc. can drive the cost up to several hundred dollars.  Depending upon the type of vehicle you own, the cost could easily exceed more than one thousand dollars!

Our goal with this website is to provide you access to procedures that show you how to replace your own heater core and, thereby saving you hundreds of dollars. Therefore, the answer to the question depends upon whether you are willing  to roll up your sleeves and bypass the repair shops by providing the labor to replace your own heater core. I'm sure you can think of lots of things to spend those hundreds of dollars that you are going to save by fixing it yourself.
