Labor rate will be far north of $100/hour in Denver.  Try closer to $175/hour or even more.

My daughter's Saturn needed a radiator a couple of months ago.  Local shop quoted a radiator and hoses for just over $600.  Coolant was already replaced so it didn't need that.  Seemed pretty fair, but we did it ourselves with a Koyo radiator and brand name hoses for about $150.  $3K seems absurd to me, and it doesn't seem to fix the cause of the overheating.  Stuck thermostat?

I already ordered a thermostat too because you may be right.

Where is she located?  I'm sure if a GRMer lives close, we all know 'a guy.'    And yes that price quote is ridiculous.
